"My love" - Novak Djokovic's wife Jelena adorably reminisces about Serb's Olympic gold medal win on one-year anniversary

In August 2024, Novak Djokovic made history when he stormed to the men's singles tennis gold medal at the Olympics. Now, a year after the Games, the Serb's wife, Jelena, recently reminisced over his exploits in Paris.

Djokovic entered the 2024 Olympics as the top seed, but he had a tricky path to the finals. Early on in the tournament, he faced off against Rafael Nadal, beating the Spaniard in what would be their last professional meeting. The 38-year-old then went on to take down the likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Lorenzo Musetti to set up a finals clash with Carlos Alcaraz.

In the finals, Novak Djokovic beat Alcaraz 7-6(3), 7-6(2) to lay claim to the Olympic gold medal. Recently, the Serb’s wife Jelena celebrated the one-year anniversary of his victory. Taking to her Instagram story, she reshared a snap of him in Paris, and wrote,

“My love ❤️.”

For Novak Djokovic, his victory at the Paris Olympics was one of the most special moments of his career. In a media interaction during the 2024 US Open, the 38-year-old reflected on winning the gold medal with his family in the audience, saying,

“Of course in the finals against Carlos, it was kind of a dream scenario really having my wife and children there, the entire nation watching. Just a very proud moment of experiencing the golden medal around my neck with Serbian anthem and Serbian flag. Very, very special. Probably the most intense emotions I have ever had on a tennis court.”

He went on to add that his Olympic gold medal surpassed every Grand Slam he had one, explaining,

“I was saying that carrying the flag, being a flagbearer for my country, opening [the Olympic] Games in 2012 in London at the Olympic Games, was the best feeling I had overall in my professional career, surpassed every Slam that I won, until I won the gold medal. I think the moment of when I achieved it, how I achieved it, after years of trying, the journey, that was the way it was, I think makes it even more unique.”

With his victory at the Paris Olympics, Novak Djokovic re-established himself as one of the greatest singles players tennis has ever witnessed.
