The Serbian champion praised the young Spaniard, against whom he will play the final for the Olympic gold medal in a few hours
Novak Djokovic will have the last call of his career in a few hours to try to win the Olympic gold medal and complete the Career Golden Slam. Paris Olympics – in particular the Philippe Chatrier of the Roland Garros Stadium – will be the dream backdrop for the stellar challenge between the Serbian champion and the young Carlos Alcaraz, ruler of this part of the season. A challenge that promises sparks and that, in one sense or another, will rewrite the history of tennis.
At the press conference he took part in after the victory in two sets in the semifinal against Lorenzo Musetti, the Serbian superstar analyzed his next match with great lucidity and admitted that Alcaraz will be the favorite for everything he has achieved in recent weeks. Djokovic has of course reiterated that he will give his all to win the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
We haven’t played each other on clay for a while, I think the only time we played here was the semi-final last year at Roland Garros. I feel like a different player than I was at Wimbledon, the way I move, the way I hit the ball. Not to take anything away from his victory in the Wimbledon final, he was dominating and deservedly won, but I feel more confident in myself and my chances in the final,” explained the Serb.
