Even the characteristically tough Novak Djokovic couldn't help but shed a tear at the end of the men's single final. The Serbian tennis legend had won all four grand slam titles and practically every honor there is in the sport, but the Olympic gold medal was escaping him. He had tried five times to win the gold, failing each time. That finally changed Sunday.
With the medal and his four major grand slam titles, Djokovic becomes only the fifth player in history to complete the 'Golden Slam,' joining Steffi Graff, Rafael Nadal, Andre Agassi and Serena Williams. Djokovic was only nine when Andre Agassi became the first to complete the Golden Slam. Since then, Djokovic has won 24 Grand Slam titles in his career — the most of any man in history.
