NOVAK Djokovic has a late addition to his near-perfect tennis resumé: Olympic gold medalist. He defeats Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(3) 7-6(2) at Roland Garros to complete a career golden slam, winning the Olympic title on top of all four grand slams.
This was 37-year-old Djokovic’s fifth appearance at an Olympics and the victory sees him become the oldest man to win a singles gold medal.
In a pulsating match of high quality, the Serbian avenged his loss to Alcaraz at Wimbledon last month. He’s just the fifth player to win a singles gold and all four majors, joining Rafael Nadal, Andre Agassi, Serena Williams and Steffi Graf in an exclusive group.
