Novak Djokovic has won his first Olympic gold medal by beating Carlos Alcaraz in the 2024 Games men's tennis singles final.
Novak Djokovic won his first Olympic gold medal by beating Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 , 7-6 in an enthralling men's tennis singles final at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris on Sunday, giving the 37-year-old from Serbia the last significant accomplishment missing from his glittering resume.Djokovic's impressive career already featured a men's-record 24 Grand Slam titles and the most weeks spent at No. 1 in the rankings by any man or woman.
It required long exchanges filled with superb ball-striking at the baseline, deft drop shots — Alcaraz's tended to be more successful, sometimes so good Djokovic declined to even give chase — and tremendous sprinting, sliding, stretching defense at both ends. They served so well that neither got broken even once: Djokovic saved eight break points, Alcaraz six.Most remarkable, perhaps, was how cleanly both men played, despite the talent of the opposition and pressure of the occasion.
