Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic had all the achievements in his tennis career. His name is already written in the list of all-time winners of tennis. All that was left was the gold medal at the Olympics. Paris was his last chance. The Serbian monster finally won it after defeating Spain’s Carlo Alcaraz.
Carlos Alcaraz was like Yama to Djokovic. Djokovic was repeatedly falling in front of the Spanish youngster. Finally, interest in the land of Paris paid off. Djokovic beat Alcaraz 7-6, 7-6 and the Serbian completed his career by winning the adorable gold medal.
With 24 Grand Slams under his belt, Djokovic’s desperation for that honor was evident after the match. He broke down in tears on the red tennis court. After a bit of recovery, he took the flag of Serbia in his hand and went straight to the audience.
A career flaw was Olympic gold. Djokovic also told how it feels to win, ‘This is the most special. The best moment of my career till date was carrying the Serbian flag at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics in London. The best moment for an athlete is carrying the country’s flag. But what I got today surpassed everything.’
‘Flying the Serbian flag, singing the national anthem with the gold medal around my neck, there is no better feeling in professional sports. I am flying in the sky.’- added the “Joker” star.
Praising Alcaraz, Djokovic added, ‘To come at this age of 37, with a 21-year-old, who is probably the best player in the world right now, who won at Roland Garros and Wimbledon a while ago and has been playing amazing tennis lately. All things considered, this is probably the best achievement of my career.’
