It will be a new opportunity, very possibly the last one, for our ace to add to his impressive collection of trophies the one he probably wants the most now - an Olympic medal for Serbia.

Djokovic's greatest success at the Games is the bronze from Beijing in 2008, two years ago he finished fourth after a painful defeat to Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals, and then a loss to Pablo Carreno Busta in the fight for third place.

In Dubai, he announced that he would go after the long-awaited gold in Paris.

"I hope that I will be healthy and ready to play next year at the Olympic Games in Paris. It will be played on clay at the French Open grounds, I am familiar with those courts, so I hope for the best result," said Djokovic.
