In a nail-biting men’s singles final at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Novak Djokovic triumphed over Carlos Alcaraz, winning 7(7)-6(3), 7(7)-6(2) and claiming his first-ever Olympic gold medal.

The 37-year-old Serbian tennis legend, who had previously conquered all four Grand Slam titles, was visibly emotional as he achieved his long-awaited dream of standing atop the Olympic podium.

The match was a grueling test of endurance, with both players pushing each other to two tiebreakers.

The nearly three-hour contest was marked by moments of frustration due to the boisterous crowd, but Djokovic persevered, drawing on his experience and determination.

As he celebrated his victory, Djokovic was overcome with emotion, collapsing to the ground in tears before embracing his family in the crowd.

This historic win makes him the oldest player to win the Olympics singles tournament since 1908 and cements his status among the all-time greats, joining an exclusive group of players to achieve the “Golden Slam.”

Djokovic’s triumph marks a milestone in his illustrious career, and he reflected on his journey, saying, “I’m overwhelmed with emotions… Millions of different feelings.”
