Upon returning home, Djokovic, the men's singles champion of the Paris Olympics, was greeted by a sea of enthusiastic fans. In his subsequent speech, Djokovic expressed that this Olympic gold medal represented the pinnacle of his career.

Djokovic stated, "I've been eagerly anticipating this gold medal for a long time. Despite participating in multiple Olympic Games, I had never claimed the top prize. This time, I was dealing with injuries, and many doubted my current form. Not many believed I was the frontrunner to win, but I had faith in myself."

"I understood that this might be my final opportunity to secure an Olympic gold medal. This Olympics marked my best performance in the event; I didn't drop a single set. I could feel the support of the people. If there's ever been a moment that made me feel my life has been worth it, it's now. Without any pretense, this Olympic gold medal is the greatest accomplishment of my career. I'm immensely proud to have won this gold medal for Serbia."
