Gold medallist, Serbia's Novak Djokovic kisses his medal on the podium at the presentation ceremony for the men's singles tennis event on Court Philippe-Chatrier at the Roland-Garros Stadium during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, in Paris on August 4, 2024. Paris, France—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.
“I thought carrying the flag at the opening ceremony for my country at the 2012 Olympics was the best feeling an athlete could have until today. 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. 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.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.
Alcaraz then relieved him of the French Open before denying him the chance to equal Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles.
