- Serb becomes fifth player to win ‘golden slam’ in singles
Novak Djokovic completed his career “golden slam” as the 37-year-old Serb fought off Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in a magnificent Olympic men’s singles final battle at Roland Garros on Sunday.
After heartbreak in Beijing, London, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo, Djokovic simply would not be denied the one title that had eluded him for so long, winning 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) in front of an enthralled crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier.
