Novak Djokovic finally won the gold medal at the Olympics for Serbia, but what he said after left many stunned.
Many consider Djokovic the best tennis player ever. Winning this medal was his final goal to prove it, and it was a dream he had since childhood.
Djokovic loves representing Serbia. Playing for his country means everything to him, and there’s nothing bigger than the Olympics .
He tried many times before but always fell short. This year in Paris, he finally did it by beating Carlos Alcaraz, the top favorite. Fans might think it’s amazing how he keeps surprising everyone.

Djokovic’s Future Plans:
After his emotional win, Djokovic shocked everyone by saying he wants to compete in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. He’ll be 41 then! While not impossible, it’s still surprising given his past talks about retiring to spend more time with family.
“Look, I still want to play in Los Angeles,” Djokovic said. “I enjoy playing for my country in Olympic Games particularly and Davis Cup.”
His coach Viktor Troicki joked about this goal: “He’s making fun of my calendar goals… another four years with this guy.”
Despite doubts from some people, if Djokovic stays healthy, it’s possible. He might follow Andy Murray’s path and retire at the Olympics – a fitting end for such a career.
Who knows? Maybe we’ll see him at those games again. No one thought he’d win gold this year after knee surgery either!
What do you think? Can he surprise us again?
