One of the people who have been most pleased by the Olympic gold achieved by Novak Djokovic in Paris is, without a doubt, Goran Ivanisevic. The former, who was his coach for almost five years, believed that the Serbian would achieve that feat that he had yet to accomplish in his extensive and successful career. As the Croatian knows his former pupil perfectly, he was not surprised that he finally succeeded in these Olympic Games.

However, the way he did it, facing a Carlos Alcaraz who had been nearly invincible this summer, has been spectacular. In an interview for TennisMajors, Ivanisevic acknowledged that winning the Olympic gold was one of the main goals of the Serbian in his career, being one of the most discussed topics between them during the time he was his coach: "We talked about it many times, it was one of my greatest desires for him, Novak really wanted it and that's why it was so emotional for everyone," said Goran.

Destiny was written and among it was that medal, achieved after a titanic effort and through a path full of perseverance and faith. "It's incredible, it was written somewhere that it had to happen this way. It's his first trophy this season, an Olympic gold. Besides, this scenario is the best, the sweetest. He had an injury, surgery, and a bad final at Wimbledon, but on Sunday, we saw what will and desire can make you do. When Novak plays as he can, he is the best in the world, no one can match him."
