On August 4, just eight and a half weeks after undergoing meniscus surgery on his right leg, Novak defeated Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) in an epic Paris Olympics singles final to clinch a GOLD medal. With the brilliant triumph, he has also become just the fifth player, after Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams, to complete the Golden Slam, winning all four major titles and an Olympic gold medal in singles.
