Novak Djokovic after finally winning an Olympic gold medal. He burst in to Tears he gave all the glory to God!

“This is probably the biggest sporting success I have ever had and the most special feeling,” said the 37-year-old Serb after beating Carlos Alcaraz to Paris Olympics gold medal.

Novak Djokovic described his Olympic gold medal triumph on Sunday as “probably” his “biggest sporting success” and revealed he may defend the title at the 2028 Los Angeles Games when he will be 41.

Djokovic, competing in his fifth Games, came through 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (7/2) against Carlos Alcaraz in an enthralling final at Roland Garros to add Olympic gold to his 24 Grand Slam triumphs.

“This is probably the biggest sporting success I have ever had and the most special feeling,” said the 37-year-old Serb.

Victory on Sunday allowed Djokovic to join Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal, Steffi Graf and the watching Serena Williams as the only players to win all four Grand Slam tournaments and Olympic singles gold, completing the career Golden Slam.

Before defeating Alcaraz on Sunday, his best performance at the Olympics had been in 2008 at Beijing when he won bronze. He had also lost three semi-finals.

Now he wants to keep playing and has not ruled out trying to win back-to-back golds at Los Angeles in four years’ time.

“I want to play in Los Angeles, I enjoy playing for my country in the Olympic Games, in the Davis Cup,” he added.

Djokovic is the oldest singles champion since tennis returned to the Olympics in 1988 and he shattered Alcaraz’s bid to add gold to the French Open and Wimbledon titles he has already pocketed this summer.

– ‘My last chance’ –

An emotional Djokovic fell to his knees on Court Philippe Chatrier, where he has won three French Opens, before holding aloft the Serbian flag and clambering into the players’ box to embrace his wife and children.
