Gold standard summit clash
The Morning Standard
|August 04, 2024
NOVAK Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz will meet for the men's tennis singles gold medal on Sunday in the latest installment of a fascinating old-vs.-young rivalry that included a matchup in the Wimbledon final three weeks ago.

Alcaraz won that one "Quite comfortably," Djokovic acknowledged — just like he did when they played each other for last year's trophy at the All England Club.
When Alcaraz's semifinal in Paris ended Friday afternoon before Djokovic played in his later semifinal that night-the 21-year-old Spaniard was asked what it might be like to possibly take on the 37-year-old Serbian again. "Hopefully," Alcaraz said with a chuckle, "the same as Wimbledon." Why the match matters? Djokovic is the oldest man in an Olympic tennis singles final; Alcaraz is the youngest.
