In another blockbuster final this year, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will lock horns in the gold medal match of the tennis men’s singles at the Paris Olympics 2024. On Sunday (August 4), Djokovic will have a chance to take revenge after he lost to Alcaraz in the final of Wimbledon 2024 last month.
Djokovic, at the age of 37, became the oldest player to advance to an Olympic tennis final after beating Lorenzo Musetti. Having only won a single Olympic medal in the form of a bronze back in Beijing 2008, Djokovic would look to win his maiden gold. The former World No.1 is yet to win a trophy this year, having also faced injury concerns.

Alcaraz, on the other hand, has been on a rampage this year. After missing out in the Australia Open, he beat Alexander Zverev in the final to win the French Open title. Thereafter, he got the better of Djokovic in straight sets at SW19 to show his dominance. The 21-year-old is also looking to become only the second man along with Rafael Nadal to win the French Open, Wimbledon and Olympics in the same year.
Having won four Grand Slam titles and holding the record for being the youngest World No.1, Alcaraz has taken giant strides in his career. The 21-year-old Alcaraz is also the youngest to an Olympic tennis final since Seoul 1988.
