In the 2024 Paris Olympics, Novak Djokovic triumphed over Carlos Alcaraz to earn the gold medal in the men’s singles category. After achieving what had eluded him for years, the Serb felt “too proud” and “too happy.”

The gold medal match at the current Olympics pitted Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz against one another for the seventh time on tour at the Court Philippe-Chatrier. The Spaniard had prevailed in both of their previous final matches, which took place at Wimbledon.

With two masterful tiebreaker performances, Djokovic turned the tables on Alcaraz in Paris, crushing his hopes of winning the gold. Despite having numerous break points, neither contender was able to convert. The 37-year-old used his experience to win the match 7-6, 7-6 by making it through both tiebreakers in two sets.

“Billie Jean King is always present and always on the scene,” says Vedika Anand, the PTPA’s leader under Novak Djokovic, praising the American for her efforts to women’s tennis.

“Deeply regret the mistake” is how sports network has responded to Novak Djokovic’s display of his name alongside the Croatian flag after the Paris Olympics gold medal.

Is Novak Djokovic, the gold medallist in the Olympics, suddenly the all-time great of all sports, forgetting the greatness of tennis?

In an on-court interview, Djokovic, who won the gold medal without dropping a set, talked candidly about how the victory felt.

All of the emotions I’m experiencing right now are overwhelming. experiencing a range of feelings. Overly arrogant. Overly joyful. “I’m excited about the prospect of winning a gold medal for my nation for the first time in my career,” the 24-time Grand Slam champion exclaimed.

Claiming to have ‘probably’ won everything in his solo career, he said it is ‘perhaps the biggest success’ he has ever had.

In response to a question about whether the Olympic gold medal was the “missing puzzle” in his career, Djokovic said that it was. He acknowledged that he might be “self-critical” at times.

“Because I have a tendency to be quite judgemental of myself. I’m not sure. That’s one of the main mental struggles I constantly have with myself. that both on and off the court, I feel like I haven’t accomplished enough or been enough in my life.”

He said that he was happy to finish all the records and that he now felt like he had done “enough.”

It’s a significant lesson for me, then. I am incredibly appreciative of the opportunity to bring home a historic gold medal for my nation. to finish the slam dunk. to finish compiling every record.
