Novak Djokovic wins his first Olympic gold and also enters the legend of the Games.

The Serbian tennis player beat Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 7-6 in the singles final.

At the end of the match, Nole, crying with joy, ran to hug his family in the stands. «I gave my heart and soul for this gold, my first at 37», his words.

«I'm shocked - added Djokovic - It was an intense match, three hours for only two sets... We both had break chances, but it's right that in both sets we ended up in a tie break». «This - added the Serbian champion - is my fifth Olympics, and I had never managed to get beyond the semi-final. This is why I had certain thoughts against Musetti... But once I got here, I was less nervous because I thought I would get a medal anyway. Of course, gold...".

The Spaniard, however, had to interrupt the interview due to crying. “Losing like this hurts a lot,” he said.
