With a Master’s degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis as a child and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them, enjoy my passion to the fullest and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
Far from his standards during the first half of the 2024 season, Novak Djokovic has set himself a big goal: the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Indeed, the Serb needed Olympic gold to complete his collection of major titles since it is the only one that did not want to offer itself to him until now. At 37, a few weeks after his knee operation, he has achieved an immense feat. And it may not be over.
Since the beginning of his career, Novak Djokovic is looking for the gold medal at the Olympic Games. Every time he missed out, which always affected him. The images of his victory on the court Philippe-Chatrier will remain in the memories for a long time as they reflect the endless wait of an immense champion. Now it is up to him to see how he wants to continue his career, with what objectives, with the emergence of a new generation already well established.

A motivating competition
In his career, Novak Djokovic has often been considered the fifth wheel behind Roger Federer et Rafael Nadal. The Serbian finally managed to eclipse them, he who always had the desire to be the greatest player of all time. But at the beginning of 2024, we began to feel a certain decline since he gave way to Carlos Alcaraz et Jannik Sinner. “Sinner started playing well, Alcaraz played wonderfully again. I think that touched Novak’s ego and he came back really strong and finally won the title he had been chasing his whole career, which was the Olympic gold medal to complete his trophy collection.” explain Patrick Mouratoglou according to reports by We Love Tennis.
An adventure not over?
Now that he has won everything, Novak Djokovic can take on whatever challenges he wants. He has already proven that he is capable of raising his game when it really matters to him. At 37, he seems to back down from nothing. “He’s in great shape, he’s playing incredible tennis. He’s ready to compete, I think, for two, three, four more years at the highest level. But he needed this competition between him, Federer and Nadal to be the best. The only confrontation now is probably Carlos and Jannik pushing him, beating him, he feels his ego hurt and wants to show that he’s still as good as ever.” continues the French coach. The two best young people of the new generation are therefore under pressure…
