Carlos Alcaraz had beaten him the last time, in the Wimbledon final, less than a month ago. Today he fought very hard against an unstoppable player. The Serb needed a tie-break in both sets of the final, but in those two decisive moments he was much better than his opponent. The result was 7-6 (3) and 7-6 (2).

It was a match in which neither of them could break their opponents' serve. Alcaraz had several chances in the first set, but Djokovic resisted and waited for his moment to use his experience to win the only thing he was missing in his record.

The pictures after the match say it all. Djokovic could not stop crying. On his knees on the court, sitting on the bench and hugging his family and coaching staff. All his life dreaming of Olympic gold and he has achieved it in his last chance.

Alcaraz was also in tears. He has made a great effort at the Olympic Games, playing in singles and doubles alongside Rafa Nadal. He won a silver medal, but was very sad not to have won the gold medal. It has been 2 hours and 50 minutes of great effort and a great show for the public.

Errani and Paolini give Italy gold in women's doubles

The last match at Roland Garros at these Olympic Games was the women's doubles final. The Italian pair had to react after a very negative first set, which they lost 6-2 to Russia's Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider, who are competing as neutral athletes.

Errani and Paolini completely changed their mentality for the second set and it was a very different match. They started with a break of serve in their favour. From that point on, they advanced almost unchallenged to tie the match by winning the second set 6-1.

The super tie-break would decide the medal. The Italians started by serving. They won the first point, and also the next one, the first one in which the Russians served. From then on, both pairs won the points they served. As Italy did not lose any serves, they won 10-7. Andreeva and Shnaider settled for silver, and it was not the first medal for the team of athletes who do not compete under the flag of any country.

Bronze for Spain in women's doubles

The first match of the day was the bronze medal in the women's doubles. Spanish athletes Cristina Bucsa and Sara Sorribes-Tormo were able to deal with the disappointment of losing against Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider.

The dominance of the match was clear from the start. The Slovaks Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova never looked in with a chance of winning the medal. From the beginning of the first set they were at a disadvantage and had no chance of coming back, losing 6-2.

The Spaniards started the second set very determined to win. They broke the first two serves of their rivals and it seemed that the match would be over very quickly. Muchova and Noskova managed to recover one of the two, but soon lost it again and Bucsa and Sorribes-Tormo closed the match with another 6-2.
