Djokovic cheers on Serbian basketball team in Rio

The world No. 1 cheered his country on despite his Olympic campai

Published Aug 10, 2016

Novak Djokovic may have been shuffled out of the Olympic Games in the first round of singles (and second round of doubles), but that's not stopping him from supporting Team Serbia. On Wednesday, along with teammates Nenad Zimonjic and Viktor Troicki, the world No. 1 watched the men's basketball team take on France.

Djokovic has a little more time to enjoy the Olympic Games due to a left wrist injury. The injury is keeping him from attempting to win the only Masters 1000 title he's missing, Cincinnati. Still, life goes on.

And ball is life (oh, hey Mary Pierce).

Despite the elite support, the Serbian basketball team fell to France, 76-75. The Djokovic sighting has been the highlight for Olympic tennis on a rainy, wet day in Rio (all play has been delayed).
