"I do have a regret for not winning a medal for my country and opportunities missed both in mixed doubles and singles and, yeah, I just didn't deliver yesterday and today," Djokovic told reporters. "The level of tennis dropped also due to exhaustion, you know, mentally and physically."

World record holder Harrison set for 100m hurdles gold dash
American Kendra Harrison stayed on course to become the first world record holder to win Olympic gold in the women's 100 metres hurdles in 33 years by safely qualifying through her heats on Saturday.
Bulgaria's Yordanka Donkova held the world record when she triumphed at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and the feat has not been repeated since.
A few weeks after failing to qualify for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games at the US Olympic trials, Harrison set the world record of 12.20 in London.
There was a false start in Harrison's heat as Frenchwoman Laura Valette was yellow-carded but the American strode through confidently and then surged ahead of her rivals in the final 20 metres to clock 12.74.
"That's not one of my fastest times. I just plan to improve every single round," Harrison said.
"I have to set my race up better and race and attack every hurdle and take it down a notch and run faster. I don't run for a time, I'm just trying to get them spots, whatever it takes."
