World #3, Novak Djokovic, brought back some pride to the Serbian camp when he beat American, James Blake, 6-3 7-6, to take home Olympic bronze in convincing fashion.Djokovic, the reigning Australian Open champion won the first set easily but Blake, who was still angry over what he deemed as "cheating" by Fernando Gonzalez in the previous round, made him work in the second set but succumbed to the tenacious play of Djokovic.
The Serb celebrated by throwing his shirt, racquet and other accessories into the crowd while holding the Serbian flag with pride.
Serbia may be able to make it a bronze-double if Jelena Jankovic can win her 3rd-place play-off against China's Li Na, who lost to Russian, Dinara Safina, in the semifinals.
