Serbian Novak Djokovic won the Olympic tennis gold medal for the first time in his career, beating Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday in an electrifying final in Roland Garros.
A top-level match between the two best of the moment that highlighted the ambition of a player who refuses to descend from the pedestal on which history has placed him in front of a student hungry for victory.
The most brilliant Djokovic, like a champion, has closed the circle and buried his Olympic obsession. It was late, but it arrived. The oldest to compete in an Olympic final, to win gold, is among the chosen ones.
You already have your Golden Slam. The four Grand Slams and the gold medal at the Games. On a par with Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams, tennis players who have also achieved this feat.
Nole, who was taken off the court in the last face-to-face, less than a month ago, at Wimbledon when the Spaniard won the final against the Serbian, has no objective that can resist, sooner or later, the winner of twenty-four Grand Slamwho came to the appointment with the lesson learned.
The youngest to reach an Olympic final fell to the oldest, in great form, recovering to win his second Olympic prize after the bronze in Beijing 2008.
In a duel of such level the details are worth twice as much. This was how the first set was defined with the pulse pushed to the extreme. ‘tie break’ decided. And that’s where the Belgrade player was better, taking advantage.
The constant body-to-body confrontation did not stop. Each player held his serve, with fewer chances of breaking than in the first set, and once again decided the tie-break. The Serbian is an expert at this, and, just like in the previous set, was better.
