In another display of his unmatched talent and unyielding determination, Serbian tennis sensation Novak Djokovic has once again etched his name into the annals of tennis history. The road to his dream of Olympic glory seemed to be outlined, despite some obstacles along the way, as he secured a spot in the semifinals of the Olympic tennis tournament in Paris after defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas in a thrilling match.

The Serbian champion seamlessly claimed the first set, showcasing his superior skills on the court to take a commanding lead and close out the set at 6-3.
As the second set kicked off, Tsitsipas took an early lead with a break, while Djokovic seemed to be grappling with a physical issue, possibly of a muscular nature.

After a valiant effort, he managed to level the score at 5-5, ultimately pushing the set to a tiebreak, where he emerged victorious, closing out the match with a score of seven points to three.
