World No 2 Djokovic is riding high after claiming Olympic gold in Paris, downing Carlos Alcaraz in a thrilling final at Roland Garros – his first title of 2024.

Between his record 24 majors, 40 ATP 1000 titles and seven ATP Finals wins, Novak Djokovic already had a bulletproof case for the greatest of all time. The only piece of hardware missing from his trophy case — an Olympic gold medal — was also secured Sunday when he defeated Carlos Alcaraz in Paris. After the win, the Serb admitted feeling a sense of fulfillment from winning an Olympic gold medal that he didn't attain even after all those major wins and the years spent as World No. 1. "This kind of supersedes everything I imagined and hoped I could experience and...

The match was incredible. Neither Novak Djokovic nor Carlos Alcaraz had an easy game and few points were easy either. One shot rarely won a point. Neither did two shots. These were not easy points to play either. Had Alcaraz or Djokovic played any other player, they likely would not have lost more than four games. Instead, the two best players in the world - Jannik Sinner is ranked No. 1 but he is not the player that Djokovic and Sinner are if the Serb and Spaniard are playing in the best form - pushed each other to greatness.
