The men's singles final of the 2024 Paris Olympics came to an end. The top seed of the tournament, Djokovic, defeated the second seed of the tournament, Alcaraz, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) after two tie-breaks. He won the first Olympic gold medal in his career after participating in the Olympics for the fifth time, and finally realized his dream.

He also achieved the Grand Slam of tennis singles, becoming the fifth person in history after Graf, Agassi, Nadal and Serena Williams.

We don't need to elaborate on the process of the game. In the whole game, Djokovic forced a total of 6 break points, all of which were saved by Aka. Aka even forced 8 break points, which were also resolved one by one by Djokovic.

There was not a single break in the whole game, which shows that the strength of the two is really tit-for-tat. But why did Aka lose?

That is because his mentality is not as firm as Djokovic's, he does not have the domineering and courage to fight to the death, and he is still a little nervous. To put it bluntly, he is too young and has not experienced the baptism of the Olympics.

You know, Djokovic has participated in the Olympics 5 times, and Aka is only the first time.

Objectively speaking, in last night's game, Djokovic almost returned to the peak, which reminded people of Djokovic in 2011, sweeping through thousands of troops and entering an empty space. Especially the ability to control key points is really too strong, which is unstoppable. Djokovic's first serve is always powerful at the critical moment, and he dares to take action in the tiebreak stage, and he can get the key points.

It's not that Aka played badly, if it were someone else, Aka would also win the championship. It can only be said that Djokovic played too well.

After defeating Alcaraz, Djokovic was very excited. He said: "For this Olympic gold medal, I gave everything: my heart, my soul, my body, and even my family, everything in my life, I devoted myself to this game. This is an incredible battle."

"Winning the gold medal for Serbia is the greatest sports achievement of my life! I am completely overwhelmed by the emotions at this moment. I have been chasing the Olympic gold medal, but I have missed it many times. Today, I finally realized this dream."

Congratulations, well-deserved, and undisputed. The 37-year-old Djokovic defeated the 21-year-old Alcaraz, who is good at playing on clay, in two straight sets. This is greatness. Djokovic did it in one battle.

After the game, the four Grand Slams also made posters to congratulate Djokovic, who deserves this Olympic gold medal.

Alcaraz was very disappointed and cried after the game. He also wanted to get this precious gold medal, but he had no choice but to face the almost unsolvable Djokovic.

In fact, Aka's performance also made some of his fans sad and helpless. After all, Aka had 8 break points, but none of them were fulfilled. This can't be blamed on anyone, but only on his own ability to seize opportunities.

The more important the game, the more it tests a player's psychological quality, and mentality is crucial. It's like an excellent student who can usually score around 650 points in the exam, but he is exhausted when it comes to the college entrance examination.

Fortunately, Aka is still young. He will only be 25 years old in the Los Angeles Olympics four years later, and he still has a chance to win the gold medal. This failure is also a valuable experience for Aka in his growth process.

Congratulations again to Djokovic, your life is complete. To put it in a less ambitious way: Djokovic has reached a state of no desire, no ambition, and no one is alone in his quest for victory. Whatever achievements he makes in the future will only be icing on the cake.
