Serbian Tennis player Novak Djokovic said that he is feeling super proud after winning the gold medal in the ongoing Paris Olympics on Sunday.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic expressed his immense pride and joy after finally achieving his dream of winning an Olympic gold medal on Sunday.

Djokovic, who had never won an Olympic gold before, overcame Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in the men's singles final in Paris to add the prestigious title to his already glittering resume.

"God is great. Thank God. I am super proud, super happy," Djokovic told ANI after his victory.

The 24-time Grand Slam Champion proudly held the Serbian flag as he celebrated his historic moment.

After taking the game point, Djokovic dropped to his knees and tears of joy streamed down his face. The stadium erupted in chants of "Djokovic" as the Serbian ascended the stairs and entered the stands to share his triumph with his family.

While Djokovic basked in the glory of his 7-6, 7-6 gold medal victory, emotions ran high for Alcaraz, who had to settle for the silver medal.

With this victory, Djokovic now has 24 Grand Slam titles, the most of any player in men's or women's tennis. He has won the Australian Open 10 times, the French Open three times, Wimbledon seven times, and the US Open four times.

In addition to his Grand Slam triumphs, Djokovic has finally achieved an Olympic gold medal, a crucial accomplishment for any tennis player aiming for a career golden slam.

Throughout his career, Djokovic has dominated not only at the Grand Slam level but also in other prestigious tournaments,拿下 72 big titles in total. Having spent years chasing stars like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, he has now surpassed them to become the leader of the modern-day 'Big Three' in tennis. Among his big titles are 40 ATP Masters titles and seven ATP Finals championship titles.

Nadal ranks second among the 'Big Three' with a total of 59 big titles, including 22 Grand Slams (a record 14 French Open titles), 36 ATP Masters titles, and one Olympic gold medal in singles competition.

Federer follows closely behind with 20 Grand Slam titles (a record eight Wimbledon titles), 28 ATP Masters titles, and six ATP Finals titles, for a total of 54 big titles. Notably, Federer does not have an Olympic singles gold medal, although he did win a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics.

The blockbuster gold medal clash featured several highlights, with Alcaraz showcasing his powerful serves and Djokovic shining with his precise shots.

In a closely contested battle, Djokovic sealed the first game and came within inches of breaking Alcaraz's serve.

Throughout the first set, fierce rallies unfolded as Alcaraz swiftly pulled off slapshots backhand and forehand shots from his arsenal. Djokovic, on the other hand, effectively utilized the court to his advantage, minimizing the threat posed by Alacaraz.

Both Alcaraz and Djokovic repeatedly stood steps away from breaking each other's serve. Eventually, Djokovic managed to take away Alcaraz's advantage during the breakpoint and couldn't help but smile. Each time Alcaraz prevented the Serbian from moving ahead in the game, the Spaniard became more aggressive and animated in his reactions.

With the first set tied at 6-6, the game proceeded to a tiebreak. Djokovic took the first point after Alcaraz's attempt to slice a forehand shot went wide.

The Spaniard quickly recovered to take the next point. The duo remained neck-and-neck until Djokovic upped the stakes and took four consecutive points to seal the first set in his favor.

In the second set, the striking resemblance to the opening set continued to keep the packed audience enthralled.

Djokovic ensured that Alcaraz had no opportunity to approach the net and take control of their intense rallies. The second set featured some delightful rallies, prompting the fans to rise from their seats and applaud the spectacle that the two tennis stars were producing. Drop shots were a common theme throughout those rallies, employed by both players to outmaneuver each other.

With the second set also heading towards a nail-biting finish at 6-6, Alcaraz needed to secure the set to keep his hopes of standing at the top of the podium alive.

Djokovic raced to a 2-0 lead, but Alcaraz fought back to level the scoreline. Djokovic ultimately relied on his strong forehand play to make his dream a reality and finally clinch his first Olympic gold medal.

The disappointment that Djokovic faced in the Wimbledon final last month at the hands of Alcaraz quickly became a distant memory.
