Novak Djokovic has finally crowned his dream, winning the much-chased Olympic gold medal after beating Carlitos Alcaraz in straight sets (in two tie-breaks), at the end of a very tough challenge, but played perfectly by the Serbian champion. At the end of the match, Djokovic broke down in tears on the clay of the Philippe Chatrier, lighting up the Paris Olympics with his emotional side, bursting into a liberating cry.

"I am super grateful for the blessing of winning a historic gold medal for my country. To complete the Golden Slam. To complete all the records. I always tell myself that I am enough. Because I can be very self-critical. I don't know. This is one of the biggest inner battles that I continue to fight with myself. That I feel like I have not done enough or not been enough in my life on and off the court. So it's a big lesson for me. I have won probably everything there is to win in my individual career. Winning the Davis Cup and especially a gold medal at 37 years old for Serbia is unprecedented. I'm just starting to celebrate. I can't wait to see what happens in the next 48 hours. I'm overwhelmed by everything I'm feeling right now. I have different emotions. Too proud. Too happy. Thrilled to be able to win a gold for the first time in my career for my country. Probably the biggest success I've had," he explained.

Carlitos, who broke down in tears after the defeat, said he was proud to have achieved this milestone for his country.

"I'm a little disappointed but honestly I'll leave the court with my head really, really high. I gave everything I had. Fighting for Spain was everything to me. I'm proud of how I played today. I'm proud to be in this position and to bring a medal to Spain. I'm pretty sure my moment will come. One day I will bring the gold medal to Spain. I will wait for that moment and work for that moment. Now I have to enjoy the silver. It's also quite incredible. I always want to win. Taking a silver medal, I have to be really, really proud. I'm building a really great career, I guess, I hope it continues. It's painful to lose the way I lost this match. I probably had my chances to be ahead in the match. I couldn't stand it. Novak was playing great. He deserves it. In the difficult moments he raised his level. He played incredible shots," analyzed the young Spaniard.
