Satisfied, Djokovic wants more: "I want to believe I can go for gold".

Novak Djokovic has already succeeded in the first part of his gamble.

Having qualified for the Olympic final, the Serb is already guaranteed to bring home a medal for Serbia, and will even be playing in the first Olympic final of his career.

While he will be seeking revenge on Carlos Alcaraz, who dominated him in the Wimbledon final a few weeks ago (6-2, 6-2, 7-6), the world number 2 explained to the press that he had little to lose, since the medal is assured.

That said, Djokovic being the champion that he is, he obviously wants to go for gold: "It's true that we're on a different surface, I feel that this week I'm moving a lot better than I did at Wimbledon, I also feel a lot better.

I can only hope that on Sunday, when I take to the court, I'll have the chance to show my best tennis. In a way, in this final, I've got nothing to lose, because the medal is already assured.

It's true that I still want to go out there and believe that I can go for gold."
