Novak Djokovic wins his first Olympic gold medal by beating Carlos Alcaraz in the men's tennis final

Novak Djokovic achieved his long-sought Olympic gold medal at the age of 37 by triumphing over Carlos Alcaraz in the men's singles final at the 2024 Paris Games. With his 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) victory, Djokovic added this gold to his extensive list of accolades, which includes 24 Grand Slam titles and the most weeks at No.1. Having previously only secured a bronze in 2008, Djokovic's win was a significant milestone. His victory against Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals ensured a medal, and overcoming long-time rival Rafael Nadal earlier underscored his determination.
