By winning at the Paris Olympics, the Serbian tennis player claimed the only title he was missing, and completed the Golden Slam. We take a look back at the extraordinary career of a Monegasque resident whose opinions make the news almost as much as his sporting achievements.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A match for the ages. Novak Djokovic won the Olympic gold medal on Sunday 4 August, after nearly 3 hours and two of the tightest possible sets (7-6, 7-6) against a Carlos Alcaraz at his best. It was the only thing that was missing from the Serbian tennis player’s trophy cabinet. At 37, he was the oldest player to reach an Olympic final. <\/p>\n\n

As he climbed onto the top step of the podium at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Novak Djokovic had achieved the impossible, becoming probably the greatest tennis player of all time. A legend. A monument. The golden pinnacle to an extraordinary career that started as a child in the former Yugoslavia.<\/p>\n\n
