Olympics - Imperious Djokovic completes tennis with gold, but is he done?

Novak Djokovic has finally won Olympic gold, delivering an incredible performance to beat Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 7-6 in the final. Catherine, David and Matt discuss Djokovic’s remarkable level, how it appeared to shock Alcaraz, and what finally winning gold might mean for the rest of Djokovic’s career. Elsewhere, we reflect on Zheng Qinwen’s gold-medal winning moment, wrap up all the doubles results, give our thoughts on Olympics tennis generally, and react to results in Washington.
