Novak Djokovic knelt on the clay of centre court and wept. The elusive trophy had been claimed. At 37-years-old, he was the Olympic champion in the men's singles tennis competition. The triumph for himself and Serbia came 16 years after winning bronze at the Beijing Olympics.
Djokovic claimed the prize with an intense 7-6, 7-6 victory over Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, the man who beat him in straight sets on 14 July to win the Wimbledon title for a second time at his expense.
