Novak Djokovic has come closer to winning an Olympic gold medal than ever before in his career journey. In his fifth appearance at the Summer Olympics, Djokovic reached the final of the men's singles event for the first time.
Before that, he had entered the semi-finals 3 times and was eliminated all of them (1 bronze medal, 2 fourth place finishes), and 1 stop in round 1.
But before the finish line, Djokovic's opponent is a huge challenge named Carlos Alcaraz. The Spanish tennis player competed at the Olympics for the first time but went straight to the final with high performance, despite participating in the doubles event (in the quarterfinals with Rafael Nadal).
In the most recent confrontation, Alcaraz beat Djokovic at the Wimbledon 2024 final .
