“I am overwhelmed by all the emotions I am feeling right now. I am very proud and very happy. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to bring Olympic gold to my country for the first time in my career. This is perhaps my greatest achievement. I have probably won everything that can be won in an individual career. Now I am starting to celebrate, and I can’t wait to see what will happen over the next 48 hours,” Djokovic said.

“This was the missing piece of the puzzle. I always tell myself that I have enough because I can be very self-critical. I don’t know, this is one of the toughest internal battles I continue to fight – the feeling that I haven’t done enough in my life on or off the court. So, this is a big lesson for me. I am grateful for the chance to win a historic gold medal for my country,” he concluded.
