    Rio 2016: Djokovic left court in tears after losing to del Potro

    Top seeded Novak Djokovic, a 12-time major champion, had more unforced errors than winners: 32-26. The Serb, who will be 33 at the 2020 Olympics, called this "one of the toughest losses in my life." It is a stunning loss that leaves him waiting four more long years for a chance at an Olympic singles gold medal.
