Novak Djokovic vs. Carlos Alcaraz: TV, time, streaming and how to watch

The men's tennis gold medal final at the 2024 Paris Olympics promises to be one for the ages, with superstars Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz set to battle for the top spot on the podium.

The Serbian veteran Djokovic, the No. 1 seed for this Olympics tournament, will square off with the No. 2 seed Alcaraz as the tennis world sets its focus on the clay at Roland Garros. This final marks the second major final these two have played this summer, with Alcaraz besting Djokovic in July at Wimbledon.

For Djokovic, Olympic gold is the biggest men's singles title that has eluded his incredible career. However, Alcaraz — who won the 2024 French Open in five sets back in June — may be the toughest possible foe, with the young Spanish ace poised to possibly become the dominant force in the men's game in the coming years.

Here is everything you need to know to watch Djokovic vs. Alcaraz in the Summer Olympics men's tennis gold medal match.

Djokovic vs. Alcaraz: Results and Olympic medals

For Djokovic, the 2024 Summer Games will be a career-best result at the Olympics no matter how this match turns out. The 37-year-old has lost in the semifinals in each of his three previous trips to the Olympics, and has just one medal (a bronze from the 2008 Beijing Games).

Djokovic, along with mixed doubles partner Nina Stojanović, finished fourth in Tokyo in 2021. That makes this trip to the final in Paris his first Olympic final of any kind.

Alcaraz, at 21, is at his first Olympics, and would be looking for his third major tournament win of 2024. He won the 2024 French Open, played at the same venue that will host Sunday's final, on June 9 by defeating Alexander Zverev in five sets. In July's Wimbledon final, Alcaraz defeated Djokovic in three sets.

That last triumph evened the career series between the pair at three wins each. Remarkably, every previous meeting between the two has come in the semifinal or final of an ATP Tour tournament.
