TOKYO: Novak Djokovic's bid for a calendar Golden Grand Slam was dramatically ended by Alexander Zverev in the Olympics men's singles semi-finals on Friday , with the world number one saying the loss had left him feeling"so terrible right now".

But his attempt to make history came to a close as Zverev powered 30 winners past the usually impregnable Djokovic in a stunning display. It was yet more heartbreak for Djokovic at the Olympics, where his best result is a bronze medal in 2008.He lost to eventual winner Andy Murray in the semi-finals in London nine years ago, and was in tears after a first-round exit to Juan Martin del Potro at the 2016 Rio Games.

Djokovic's second chance to win a gold medal also evaporated later Friday, as he and Nina Stojanovic lost their mixed doubles semi-final to Aslan Karatsev and Elena Vesnina 7-6 , 7-5.
