Djokovic won the Olympic bronze medal in men’s singles in 2008 at the Beijing Games. He defeated American James Blake 6–3, 7–6(7–4) in the bronze-medal match.
The tournament was played from 10 to 17 August at Beijing’s Olympic Green Tennis Centre on hard court. Djokovic had lost his semifinal to Rafael Nadal, while Blake had been beaten by Fernando González in the other semifinal. Nadal went on to win gold by defeating González in the final.
The medal was significant for Serbia: it was the country’s first Olympic tennis medal. Djokovic was competing at only his second Olympics, having made his debut in Athens in 2004. The result also established him as a leading big-stage player before his first Grand Slam title at the 2008 Australian Open.
The years in the wrong options reflect later Olympic appearances, but Djokovic did not win another singles medal in those Games. In 2012 he lost the bronze-medal match, while in 2016 he exited in the first round.
