Novak Djokovic\u00a0finally won the Olympic gold medal, and doing it on the Roland Garros courts made it even better for him, especially as the run included a win over\u00a0Rafael Nadal.<\/p>\n

For a long time, Djokovic dreamed of winning the Olympic gold medal, but it never quite happened to him. He suffered an upsetting loss against Nadal at the Beijing\u00a0Olympics, where Nadal went on to win the gold medal in singles.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s had a few decent chances since then, but he could never leave the Olympic Games with the gold medal around his neck. Never until this year, when he finally made it to the Olympic final and played a spectacular match\u00a0to beat Carlos Alcaraz in the final and secure a lifelong dream of winning the gold medal for Serbia.<\/p>\n

It’s one of the most important triumphs of his career, and he spoke extensively about it in a recent interview with Serbian national broadcaster RTS.<\/p>\n

“The biggest reason is the fact that I had the chance to represent Serbia once again in a global, most important sporting event. The other reason is my Olympic career \u2013 I lost to Nadal in a close semifinals in Beijing, then I lost two more semis at the Olympics, lost the third-place battles too \u2013 these were among the toughest losses of my career.”<\/p>\n
