Tokyo Olympics: Novak Djokovic Romps Into Last Four As Belinda Bencic Reaches Final

Tokyo Olympics: World No.1 Novak Djokovic eased into the men's singles semi-final by defeating Japan's Kei Nishikori 6-2, 6-0 while Switzerland's Belinda Bencic made the women's singles final and booked a clash with Marketa Vondrousova.

Novak Djokovic maintained his Golden Slam bid by thumping Japanese hope Kei Nishikori to reach the men's Olympic tennis semi-finals, while his chief gold-medal rival Daniil Medvedev was dumped out on Thursday. In the women's draw, Switzerland's Belinda Bencic set up a final against Naomi Osaka's conqueror Marketa Vondrousova with a marathon victory over Kazakh Elena Rybakina. World number one Djokovic, who has already sealed the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon titles this season, brushed aside Nishikori 6-2, 6-0 in just 70 minutes. "My best performance of the tournament tonight against a very good, very good opponent," said Djokovic, who is looking to emulate Steffi Graf's 1988 Golden Slam -- winning all four majors and the Olympic singles in the same year. "I feel I had an answer for everything he had." The Serb did not have to be in peak form against an opponent who offered very little and made 16 unforced errors.
