World number one Novak Djokovic pulled out of the Tokyo Olympics mixed doubles bronze medal match with a shoulder injury on Saturday, just a month before the US Open, officials said.

The withdrawal came after the 20-time major champion lost his cool on his way to a surprise defeat against Pablo Carreno Busta in the Olympics singles bronze-medal match.
