Novak Djokovic is without a doubt the GOAT

Novak Djokovic chose the final of the Olympic Games in Paris to play the best match of his season. The former world number 1 did not have an exciting 2024 in terms of results, as he had not yet won a title this year before today’s performance.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion was seen as a clear underdog against Carlos Alcaraz in the gold medal final, but has once again proven to be an immortal legend of the sport. The 37-year-old from Belgrade has shown his best tennis on the iconic Philippe Chatrier by turning the predictions of the evening around and finally achieving his dream of winning the gold medal for his country. Nole triumphed in two tiebreaks, making the difference at decisive moments and punishing every mistake of the young Spaniard. Carlitos was the big favorite on the eve of this final and played a great match, but he didn’t expect such a level from his opponent.

The 21-year-old player from Murcia burst into tears at the end of the match. He wanted to win the gold medal for Spain and continue his unbeaten run, after triumphs at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Djokovic and Alcaraz both miss next week’s Montreal Masters 1000 and should return to the court in Cincinnati, the final test before the US Open at the end of August.

Djokovic is the GOAT

With this victory, Novak Djokovic has achieved another feat in his legendary career. If we look at all his records, it’s hard to deny that Nole is not the best tennis player of all time“I’m overwhelmed by everything I feel right now. I feel different emotions. Too proud. Too happy. Overjoyed with the opportunity to win gold for my country for the first time in my career,” Novak Djokovic explained.

“Because I can be very self-critical. I don’t know. That’s one of the biggest internal battles I keep having with myself. That I feel like I haven’t done enough or been enough in my life on and off the court. I know Carlos and Rafa (Nadal), they love playing for Spain. Andy (Murray) loved playing for Great Britain. Roger (Federer) for Switzerland. Alex Zverev won in Tokyo for Germany. You saw the reactions of all those guys when they won. It’s something special,” he added.

Nole is awesome

There are few words to describe Novak Djokovic now. When everyone seems to have finished playing, he knows how to impress, win and convince again as he has done in the last hours. The Serbian tennis player won the gold medal at the Olympic Games in Paris, the last great achievement missing from his immense record and now Nole has literally won everything that is possible and conceivable.

Sometimes critics of Djokovic find every means to belittle his legend. Some have even been able to say in the past that Nole won a Slam only thanks to lucky draws or episodic situations, the reality at 37 years old is very different. In the last few hours, an impressive figure has emerged on the Balkan tennis player, a figure that has come back to the fore after the victory against Alcaraz.

By beating the Spaniard at the Olympic Games in Paris, Nole has made it clear once again and is now 4-3 ahead in the previous round with the Spaniards, certainly not the only one in this situation. Novak Djokovic is ahead in the previous round with all other tennis players present in the Top 15; it is 4-3 ahead, both against the number one of the world Jannik Sinner and against Carlos Alcaraz, The new one who continues but sees that Nole still dominates. There are such beautiful dominances as the 9-0 in the previous match against Fritz or the 12-1 and 12-2 respectively against Grigor Dimitrov And Stefanos Tsitsipas.

The 37-year-old from Belgrade defeated Carlos Alcaraz, who played a very good tournament and represents the future of this sport. “Honestly, I always want to win. When I receive a silver medal, I must be very proud. I think I am building a great career and I hope it continues. As I said, I am proud to be in this position and to bring a medal to Spain. I am sure my time will come. One day I will bring the gold medal to Spain. I will wait for that moment and work towards it. Right now I have to enjoy lifting the silver, which is also quite remarkable” – declared the Spaniard.

The young Spaniard also dreamed of winning gold at the Paris Olympics, after winning the French Open and Wimbledon in the past month and a half.
