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.More Related News
