How to watch the Olympic tennis final live: Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz - Head-to-head and full schedule
Tennis' inter-generational rivalry is set for a seventh chapter in Sunday's (4 August) Olympic singles final.
Serbia's Novak Djokovic will take on Spanish young gun Carlos Alcaraz for the men's gold medal, just three weeks after the two did battle for a second straight year in the Wimbledon finale.
Their rivalry couldn't be more even, with the series tied 3-3 across six meetings.
It was that Wimbledon championship tilt where the 21-year-old Alcaraz looked in control, with Djokovic admitting after he felt a step below the now four-time major champion.
Both men are chasing a first Olympic gold medal at Paris 2024, with Djokovic in his fifth Games and Alcaraz making his debut here.
"It's a dream come true, to have the honour to win a medal for my country," Alcaraz said after his semi-final win on Friday (2 August). "But, honestly, in my mind is just the gold one, the gold medal. I'm really excited to play the final and go for it and get the gold medal."
