Djokovic beat Alcaraz in two sets during Sunday's gold medal match.

The day after the match Djokovic took some time to send Alcaraz an encouraging message on social media. The 24-time major winner didn't want Alcaraz to feel defeated about the loss, but instead inspired. "Another epic final, @carlosalcaraz. El clasico," Djokovic wrote. "Congratulations to you and your team for an excellent Olympics. Considering your age, your energy and the way you play, you probably have 20 more Olympics ahead of you. Your gold will come. Until next time, amigo.". El clasico. Congratulations to you and your team for an excellent Olympics. Considering your age, your energy and the way you play, you probably have 20 more Olympics ahead of you 😆.
