Wimbledon men's singles champion Novak Djokovic has said he is "split" over whether he will go to the Tokyo Olympics, having previously committed to participating.
Djokovic defeated Italy's Matteo Berrettini 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 in the final on Sunday, but later said he was not ready for the Olympics before the US Open .
Djokovic told a news conference after his win, "Yeah, that's not great news [fans not being allowed in]. I got that news yesterday or two days ago. It was really disappointing to hear that." "
"I also heard there's going to be a lot of bans within the village. You probably won't see other athletes performing live. I can't even have my stringer which is a very important part of my team. I do I don't have a stringer. I'm limited by the number of people I can take on my team.
"I have to think about it. Right now, as I said, my plan was always to go to the Olympic Games. But right now I'm a little divided. It's 50/50 because of what I've heard. The last two days."
The Tokyo Olympic Committee announced on Thursday that there would be no fans at the Games after Japan declared a state of emergency during the tournament.
Many months ago, fans from outside the country were banned, but there was a hope that domestic fans could still join it.
Djokovic wants to complete a calendar Grand Slam by winning the Australian Open, French Open & Wimbledon.
His win on Sunday marked his 20th Grand Slam title, putting him on a par with Roger Federer & Rafael Nadal.
"I consider myself the best & I believe I am the best, otherwise I wouldn't have talked confidently about winning a Slam & making history," he said. “But whether or not I am the greatest of all time, I leave that debate to other people. I said earlier that it is very difficult to compare the era of tennis. We have different rackets, techniques, balls, courts. It's completely different conditions we're playing in, so it's very difficult to compare tennis from 50 years ago to today."
