A fired-up Novak Djokovic on Friday reached his first Olympic final, where he will face Carlos Alcaraz in a dream showdown for gold, describing his achievement as "a big deal". Top seed Djokovic, still seeking an elusive Olympic title to sit along his 24 Grand Slams, defeated Italy's Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 6-2 in a tense semi-final. Alcaraz earlier became the youngest men's finalist since tennis returned to the Games in 1988 when he swept aside Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1, 6-1. Sunday's title match at Roland Garros will be the pair's seventh meeting and follows on the heels of Alcaraz's recent victory against Djokovic in the Wimbledon final.
