STORYLINE:
Novak Djokovic has won his first Olympic gold medal by beating Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) in the 2024 Games men’s tennis singles final.
Sunday’s victory makes the 37-year-old from Serbia the oldest man to triumph in the event at the Summer Games since 1908.
It also gives Djokovic the last significant accomplishment missing from a resume that includes 24 Grand Slam titles and the most weeks spent at No. 1 in the rankings.
Elsewhere Kristen Faulkner timed her attack to perfection to win the women’s road race.
Faulkner, a former rower at Harvard who only made the Olympic team as a replacement, became the first American rider in 40 years to win a medal in the event.
The 158-kilometer route started and finished in Paris, with Faulkner crossing the line at the Trocadéro in a fraction under four hours.
Meanwhile Taiwan’s Lee Yang and Wang Chi-Lin defended their title after winning gold in the men’s badminton doubles, becoming the first pair to win the title twice.
