The 37-year-old veteran from Serbia, Novak Djokovic, won the gold medal against Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, adding one more gold to Serbia’s tally of two gold medals in the Paris Olympics 2024.
The gold medal match finalist recently played in the Wimbledon final, in which Carlos Alcaraz defeated him to defend his title against the Legend Novak Djokovic. However, it did not take much time for Novak to give the 21-year-old and current rank 1st tennis player a bitter reply in the final of the match in which Djokovic defeated him by 7(7)-6(3), 7(7)-6(2).
Djokovic is the only tennis player to win 24 Grand Slams, and now, a gold medal in his career achievement makes him the most complete tennis player in history. He also became the oldest player in the men’s single competition to win the gold since 1908 in, when Josiah Ritchie from Great Britain won it.
Alcaraz won the silver medal for pain and will be a top contender to win the gold medal in the next Olympics. He is one of the top young talents in the World and recently won Wimbledon back-to-back.
What Novak Djokovic Said After Winning The Gold Medal
“This is probably the biggest sporting success I have ever had and the most special feeling,”
“I thought carrying the flag at the opening ceremony for my country at the 2012 Olympics was the best feeling an athlete could have until today.
“Now at the age of 37 and facing a 21-year-old who is probably the best player in the world right now, winning Roland Garros and Wimbledon back-to-back, I can say that this is probably the biggest sporting success I have ever had.”
“I want to play in Los Angeles, I enjoy playing for my country in the Olympic Games, in the Davis Cup,”
“We almost played three hours, the final shot was the only moment when I was sure I could win the match,”
“I did everything I possibly could to prepare myself for this period. The injury sidetracked me a little bit. But coming into the Olympic Games I felt like a different player in terms of how I moved, how I played.
“In a way losing heavily to Alcaraz at Wimbledon probably worked in my favour as I knew I couldn’t play any worse than that.”
