Novak Djokovic was spotted celebrating his historic Olympic Gold medal boisterously at Siena, the same restaurant Carlos Alcaraz found himself at following his French Open victory. Serbian football star Dusan Vlahovic and other members of Djokovic’s entourage were also pictured in a merry mood enjoying the festivities.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion rewrote the history books on Sunday night by clinching his maiden Olympic title. He saw off Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in a gripping encounter 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) at Roland Garros to add the only missing accolade to his already impressive collection.
This victory also saw Djokovic become a part of an elite group of athletes who have completed the career Golden Slam, joining the likes of Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams.
The Serb was photographed at French restaurant Siena on Monday night to celebrate his monumental triumph. The restaurant gave fans a glimpse of the party organized for the star through their Instagram handle.
“Epic night at @siena.paris💫 Congratulations Golden Boy @djokernole! It’s always a pleasure to celebrate with you🥇,” @siena.paris Instagram.

Djokovic could be seen orchestrating the celebrations with a glass of wine in his hand. He loudly sang along to some Serbian tunes with his friends and danced on top of chairs with sparklers in his hands, sending the entire restaurant into a frenzy.
Juventus football star and fellow Serb Dusan Vlahovic was also photographed in the thick of the action at the celebrations. Vlahovic and Djokovic were seen hugging, dancing, singing, and having an absolute ball around each other.
The video ended with Djokovic wrapped in the Serbian flag with the Gold medal around his neck, wholeheartedly thanking the Siena in the French.

Novak Djokovic was all praise for Carlos Alcaraz following their thrilling encounter in the men’s singles final at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“We lalmost played three hours for two sets. It was an incredible battle, incredible fight. He keeps on asking me to play my best tennis.” Djokovic was quoted saying after the match.
Djokovic also took to his social media to congratulate Alcaraz on an ‘excellent Olympics,’ while reassuring him that he is still very young and that the Gold medal wasn’t very far away.
“A quick shoutout to @carlitosalcarazz. Another epic final, my friend. El clasico. Congratulations to you and your team for an excellent Olympics. Considering your age, your energy, and the way you play, you probably have 20 more Olympics ahead of you😆. Your gold will come. Until next time, amigo,” Djokovic wrote on Instagram.
The pair, who most recently played in the finals of Wimbledon only last month, once again found themselves as the last men standing for the crown. Djokovic was comprehensively outplayed on that occasion but unbelievably managed to turn things around this time around en route to his maiden Olympic Gold.
