World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has finally begun his training for the Olympic Games after arriving in Tokyo. He is certainly eyeing his maiden Gold medal there and has a great chance of winning as both his rivals, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, have already withdrawn from the tournament.

Novak Djokovic is currently spending some quality time off the court in Tokyo. He met several athletes of different sports in Tokyo and they all didn’t miss the chance of clicking some selfies with the 20-time Grand Slam champion.

Seriously, every other post in my feed is still Djokovic getting stopped somewhere in the Olympic village for selfies or a chat. And he seems to enjoy it! Is there anyone there who hasn’t gotten one yet?? Ah ah, really kinda amazing. https://t.co/E2FO3OrVeQ
