PARIS—For all of his Grand Slam championships and other titles, for all of his time at No. 1, Novak Djokovic really, really wanted an Olympic gold medal for Serbia, the last significant accomplishment missing from his glittering resume.
He finally got one at age 37. Doesn’t matter a bit how long it took. Djokovic beat Carlos Alcaraz 7–6 (3), 7–6 (2) in an enthralling and evenly matched men’s tennis singles final at the 2024 Games on Sunday.
