Novak Djokovic Clinches First Olympic Gold, Triumphs Over Carlos Alcaraz

Novak Djokovic Wins First Olympic Gold Medal
SHARE

Novak Djokovic captured his first Olympic gold medal in a thrilling men’s tennis singles final on Sunday, overcoming Carlos Alcaraz with scores of 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2). This victory adds a coveted achievement to the 37-year-old Serbian’s illustrious career.

Already holding a record 24 Grand Slam titles, Djokovic has spent more weeks at No. 1 in the rankings than any other player, male or female. His previous Olympic outings had yielded a bronze in 2008, which he found unsatisfactory.

Before this victory, Djokovic had not advanced past the semifinals in three Olympic attempts, each losing against the eventual gold medalist Rafael Nadal in Beijing, Andy Murray in London, and Alexander Zverev in Tokyo.

In Paris, after knee surgery two months prior, Djokovic, adorned with a grey sleeve, triumphed over Nadal in the second round. His win made him the oldest man to claim singles gold since 1908 and also thwarted Alcaraz, 21, from becoming the youngest gold medalist.

Upon securing victory with a forehand winner, Djokovic celebrated emotionally with his team and family in the stands, then waved the Serbian flag, while a tearful Alcaraz observed.

Despite lasting nearly three hours, the final, a rematch of their recent Wimbledon bout won by Alcaraz, was settled in straight sets. It showcased both players’ exceptional skills and mental toughness, with neither facing a service break.

The match epitomized high-calibre tennis, culminating in a best-of-three-set Olympic format that, while thrilling, left some yearning for the more extended drama of Grand Slam five-setters. Yet, the quality of play ensured that all spectators experienced a match worthy of a major final.
