The Olympics is an event where he has always dreamed of winning gold, but he has always fallen short. He has the same aim this year, but he will face a major obstacle in Carlos Alcaraz, who has the same goal.

Serbia has not managed to win many medals at the Olympics throughout its existence. They have accumulated 24 medals, out of which 6 are gold medals. Seeing the lack of medals, Djokovic has been aspiring to win the gold medal at the Summer Olympics when he became a professional player. He has come close three times, once when he won a Bronze medal in 2008, then at the 2012 and 2021 Olympics.

Along with him, Alcaraz also aims to add another gold medal to Spain’s renowned history. Interviewing with Marca, he said, “I keep the Olympic title because for me it is a dream to win a medal for my country. Gold is one of the greatest things in sport in general.”
