Novak Djokovic is back dining at tennis' top table as he eyes a historic 25th Grand Slam title at the US Open to follow on from his Olympic gold in Paris.
Novak Djokovic is back dining at tennis' top table and looking to make yet more history at the US Open. With a gold medal secured in Paris earlier this month, one that had proven so elusive through his four prior Olympic attempts, Djokovic - aged 37 - became just the fifth player to claim the sport's 'golden slam', following in the footsteps of Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams.
'It was the one piece of the puzzle that was missing and at the age of 37 this was his last chance,' Sky Sports' Tim Henman said. 'The whole sort of psychology and the pressure around it, it must have been absolutely immense, and then add the fact that he was playing Alcaraz, who is at the top of his game, for Djokovic to come through and win that was absolutely incredible.
