Superheroes wear capes. This time, Novak Djokovic is the real hero in his family’s eyes rocking the Serbian National Flag. The Serbian star has finally done justice to his long-lost dream. Nole, who battled a nail-biting summit clash with rival Carlos Alcaraz at the Paris Olympics, came on top and clinched a historic gold medal for his nation. His glory, filled with emotions, was witnessed at Court Philippe Chatrier after he delivered a sensational performance against the Spanish talent.

The Serb wrapped the duel in straight sets. However, those triumphs did not come easy. Djokovic faced major resistance from Alcaraz, who was determined to fight the Serb tooth and nail to the very end. Ultimately, Nole’s superior experience and a better grasp of his composure led him to conclude the showdown 7-6(3), 7-6(2).

Naturally, the hard-fought battle prompted him to pour out his sentimental side, airing more emotions to the already enthralled French crowd.

Following his victory in Paris, the Serb was beatific. Unable to hold his overwhelming emotions, Novak Djokovic fell to the ground, shaking and crying in mere happiness after securing the match point in his favor. Later, the World No. 2 jumped through the stands to celebrate the occasion with his family.

In a series of videos released on X, Nole passionately hugged his wife Jelena, and daughter Tara. The heartfelt scenes portrayed the hardships Djokovic went through to achieve his aspirations.

It is worth noting that with this Olympic victory, the 24-time major champion has scripted yet another record to his already glittering legacy. The Serb has completed a golden career slam.

This, in turn, makes him the 5th player in history to secure such an esteemed laurel. However, things don’t look joyous for the Spaniard. Not only did Nole thwart his dream run at the quadrennial event, but he also disabled Alcaraz’s plans of getting a commemorative tattoo had he won the gold medal.

But gracious as it is, Djokovic is more than content now. Notably, he feels like ‘his puzzle’ is outrightly complete with his Olympic triumph.

A ‘self-critical’ Novak Djokovic feels complete!

‘Victory belongs to the most tenacious’. Undoubtedly, Novak Djokovic was enchanting Roland Garros‘ motto when he guided himself to land at the top of the Olympic podium in Paris. Subsequently, the Serb also voiced his emotions following his clay court victory. And to much amazement, he was more than just satisfied.

The ecstatic gold medalist agreed when asked whether this conquest filled in as the missing piece of his puzzle. He further hoped that his noteworthy achievements would suffice for his constant urge to have something to prove to himself.

“Yes, it is (completion of the missing puzzle). I’m telling myself always that I am enough. I can be very self critical. That’s one of the biggest internal battles I keep on fighting with myself. So it’s a big lesson for me. I’m super grateful for the blessing to win a historic gold medal for my country. To complete the golden slam. Is it enough? I think so,” mentioned Djokovic.

Now that the Serbian has furnished his nation with a historic gold, he will take some time off to celebrate his accomplishment. He will be likely seen in action at the 2024 US Open, where he will aim to lift the Flushing Meadows title and, with it, his 25th career slam.

But is the end nearing for the Serbinator? Surely, that’s a debate up for grabs.
