Rio Olympics 2016: 10 biggest stars who can produce magic at the Games

Usain Bolt will look to shrug off his injury to get on the track for Jamaica

#8 Novak Djokovic (Serbia)

A third-round exit from Wimbledon may force Djokovic to skip Rio 2016

Novak Djokovic has been ruling tennis since 2011 having won 11 Grand Slam titles since then. But the Serbian has never won an Olympic gold medal. He has participated in two Olympics so far – Beijing 2008 and London 2012. He had won a bronze medal in his first attempt in China where he beat James Blake in the bronze medal match.

But in London 2012, he could not manage to beat Del Potro for the bronze medal and hence finished fourth.

The Serbian has been eliminated from the Wimbledon Championship by an American, Sam Querrey, in the third-round. Hence, he will be looking to end the year on a high if he represents his country in the Olympics in Rio. But after the loss to Querrey, Djokovic had said that he may consider pulling out of the Olympics in order to relax himself before the next season commences.

If the Serb decides not to go, it will be a big loss for tennis, but it might be a better chance for the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
