The Serbian tennis player, in particular, recalled his disappointment in the match against Nadal in the semi-finals of the Beijing Olympics.
Novak Djokovic considers the Olympics the most important tennis tournament for him. According to the legendary athlete, the tournament is held only once every four years, which is what makes it unique.
In particular, the Serb said that he won his most painful defeat and greatest victory in these competitions.
“The most important reason is that I had the opportunity to represent Serbia again at the most important sporting event in the world. The second is my Olympic career: I lost in the semi-finals to Nadal in Beijing, then I lost two more semi-. finals at the Olympics – these were some of the hardest defeats in my career.
The Olympics are held only once every four years. I entered these Olympics without winning a season title, I had knee surgery, I’m 37 years old, I beat an opponent who just beat me at Wimbledon… All this is very special. The biggest range of emotions in my career, it’s hard to describe in words,” Tennis Majors told Djokovic.
Djokovic defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the 2024 Olympic final.
Prior to this, Djokovic achieved a unique success in tennis.
