I can't remember the last time I watched an important Djokovic match live. But something told me to get up this morning to take it all in -- and how glad I am that I did. A true thriller -- 14 break points with zero converted -- deserving of the occasion, which saw Novak's hands and legs literally shaking when it was over. If it were up to me, I’d have much rather he’d won a fourth Roland Garros. (Only my Steffi has a minimum of four of each major.) But this clearly is what his goal was for 2024 -- and it was very obvious what it meant to Nole -- so even a tennis Olympics skeptic has to be thrilled for him.
More history made!
What's it all about, Selfie?
In a post-match interview, Djokovic was asked if his puzzle is complete now.
"Yes it is. It is. I'm telling myself always that I am enough. Because I can be very self critical. I don't know. That's one of the biggest internal battles I keep on fighting with myself. That I feel like I haven't done enough or been enough in my life on and off the court. So it's a big lesson for me. I'm super grateful for the blessing to win a historic gold medal for my country. To complete the golden slam. To complete all the records."
“Is it enough?"
"I think so."
