After Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024, will Novak Djokovic be at Los Angeles 2028? The Serb will have 41 years old at the time of the Olympic Games, but he set himself the goal of being there. The only thing I have in mind that motivates me is the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. " he confides in an interview on the YouTube channel Neuspjeh Prvaka. He thus admits that his motivation is not the same for the Grand Slam tournaments as for these Games, which could be his sixth.
Targets set! 🎯

Bronze medalist in Beijing and gold in Paris, the Djoker would enter a little more into the history of his sport if he participated in the Los Angeles Games: he would join the Canadian Daniel Nestor (6 participations between 1996 and 2016) on the second place in the list of tennis players with the most appearances at the Olympic Games, only surpassed by the Indian Leander Paes (7 participations between 1992 and 2016). On the women's side, the record for participations (five) is shared between Sara Errani, Venus Williams, Samantha Stosur, Elena Vesnina and Arantxa Sánchez. The absolute record, all sports combined, remains held by the Canadian Ian Millar (equestrian) and the Georgian Nino Salukvadze (shooting) with 10 participations.
