Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic celebrated his Olympic gold medal win with his loved ones at Siena, the same place where Carlos Alcaraz celebrated his maiden Roland Garros win. The 37-year-old cheered and sang with his friends and family to celebrate the win. Djokovic was joined by Juventus star and Serbian soccer player Dusan Vlahovic.
Although Djokovic is an AC Milan fan and supports the Italian club with all his heart, he enjoyed the time with his compatriot. The two Serbian athletes were seen singing with their hands on each other’s shoulders. Djokovic also got a picture clicked with Vlahovic.
Djokovic was seen running the festivities with a glass of wine in his hand. He sang along to a few Serbian songs with his friends. Vlahovic was also in the thick of the action of the festivities with both seen hugging, dancing, and singing.

Having waited almost two decades for the achievement, Novak Djokovic does not want the celebrations to be over anytime soon. The Serbian does not want to talk about his future plans either. He made it clear that it was time for him to relax, enjoy, and celebrate instead of worrying about the future.
Djokovic recalled how he had to endure a few failures before this moment of glory. Despite winning almost everything in tennis, he felt a void due to the absence of an Olympic gold medal in his trophy cabinet.
Although the 24-time Grand Slam champion won a bronze medal in his first Summer Games, he craved the biggest prize but could not do it in the next three attempts. The 2024 Paris Olympics seemed like the last chance for him to complete the puzzle and Djokovic did it.
The 37-year-old not only reached the first-ever Olympic final but also beat the best player on the tour currently, Carlos Alcaraz, to win his maiden Olympic gold medal. Djokovic was so thrilled with this win that he went on to hail it as his biggest sporting success.
