"Playing the Olympics was a big mistake" says former Serbian Davis Cup captain on Djokovic

Novak Djokovic failed to with the Tokyo Olympics and the US Open and former Serbian Davis Cup captain believes the games cost him the grand slam.
Novak Djokovic failed to win the US Open and while he was able to reach the final, Djokovic never looked as sharp or dominant as he did in the previous three grand slams. Something was simply off with the Serbian and several people believe playing the Olympics cost him the Grand Slam. Even before arriving in New York his father said that in his mind playing the Games was a mistake.
That opinion is shared by the former Team captain of the Serbian National Team Goran Bubanj who said:
"The main dilemma for Novak Djokovic this year was whether or not he will compete in the Tokyo Olympics. Clearly, it is easy to speak with hindsight, but some evaluations should be made. Participating in the Games was a big mistake from every point of view. He lost his chance to rest at that juncture and prepare for the US Open, which was by far the most important tournament of his career. He will win more Grand Slams than all of them in the men's Tour, but I doubt he will be able to win four in the same season."
Asked to analyze his US Open campaigan Bubanj said the following:
"Nole immediately realized that he did not have the necessary pace to take her home. He has gone down to the net many times, perhaps even Roger Federer would not have adopted such an aggressive tactic. At the same time, it was clear that he had no idea how to run that game."
