The Serbian tennis player had won everything except the Olympic Games. On Sunday, August 4, his victory in the final in Paris allowed him to add this line to his list of achievements. Novak Djokovic was particularly moved by this victory.
This is perhaps the first time that Novak Djokovic has let his emotions burst forth to this extent. On Sunday, August 4, his joy was as great as his achievement. The Serb won the Olympic gold medal, the last line missing from his immense list of achievements.All the emotions I feel now are hard to explain. Maybe it’s the most important (trophy) of my life“, he reacted, in French, after his victory.
A divisive personality
After 24 Grand Slams, 7 Masters, 40 Masters 1000 and a Davis Cup, Novak Djokovic should have been recognized as the greatest tennis player of all time. But his provocative side has often irritated spectators. In May 2023, he even caused a scandal by slipping in a word about the conflict between Kosovo and Serbia at the end of a match. His refusal to have his vaccination status recognized in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic had also been criticized. Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, on the other hand, revealed fewer rough edges.
