00:00Novak Djokovic beat Carlos Alcaraz in thrilling fashion to secure a long-awaited Olympic title
00:08and complete the career golden slam.
00:11Djokovic, who has won every men's record 24 majors and swept up every title there is in
00:18tennis, finally clinched Olympic gold at his fifth Games.
00:23The 37-year-old put his best performance of the year in to beat French Open and Wimbledon
00:28champion Alcaraz in front of a packed crowd in Paris.
00:33He sealed the title with a forehand winner and then turned to his box, arms outstretched
00:38in disbelief, before throwing his racket to the floor after a draining match which lasted
00:44just under three hours.
00:46He left this same court at Roland Garros two months ago, needing knee surgery, which put
00:52his Olympic dream at risk and his reaction after Sunday's win showed exactly what it
00:58meant.
