Novak Djokovic, having finally claimed the elusive Olympic gold medal, has nothing left to prove and is poised to further distance himself from his historic rivals by winning another major at the U.S. Open.

The 37-year-old Serbian tennis great was visibly emotional after beating Carlos Alcaraz in Paris to complete the 'Golden Slam,' thereby cementing his status as the GOAT of men's tennis. With his 24th Grand Slam title in New York last year, Djokovic is now two titles ahead of Rafa Nadal and four ahead of retired Roger Federer.

While Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer were once the 'Big Three' of men's tennis, Djokovic is the last man standing as of this year, aiming to further assert his dominance. Former world number one John McEnroe noted, 'He seems to have already done that in a way. He's won everything, including the Olympics.'
