The biggest success I had: Djokovic rates his Olympics win

During the on-court interview after the match, the 24-time Grand Slam champion said winning the Olympic gold medal was his greatest achievement. He was totally pumped and said the celebration would last for the next two days.

“I don’t know. I’m overwhelmed with everything I’m feeling right now. Feeling different emotions. Too proud. Too happy. Thrilled with the possibility to win gold for the first time in my career for my country,” Djokovic said.

“Arguably the biggest success I had. I won probably everything there is to win in my individual career. Winning Davis Cup and particularly a golden medal at age 37 for Serbia is unprecedented. I’m just starting my celebration. I can’t wait for what’s coming up in the next 48 hours,” the World No. 2 added.
