Nole played a key role in this tournament, spearheading a big comeback moment in the finals with a crucial victory over Ga\u00ebl Monfils. It helped to level the score and ultimately led to Serbia\u2019s first and, to this day, only Davis Cup title. The team famously celebrated by shaving their heads together on court.<\/p>\n\n\n

With this victory, he achieved a \u201cCareer Grand Slam\u201d and completed what has been dubbed the \u201cNole Slam\u201d, which means holding all four major titles at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n

It was Nole\u2019s first big win after a slew of injuries and a dip in his career having not won a single Grand Slam in two years.

In this match, he was down 40-15 and saved championship points against Federer to win the title.

In a testament to his heart, skill and versatility, Nole won his very first Roland Garros title against fellow \u201cBig Four\u201d player Andy Murray. With this victory, he achieved a \u201cCareer Grand Slam\u201d and completed what has been dubbed the \u201cNole Slam\u201d, which means holding all four major titles at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n

It was Nole\u2019s first big win after a slew of injuries and a dip in his career having not won a single Grand Slam in two years. Having even considered retirement earlier in the year, this match marked a revival in his career and he went on to win the title.<\/p>\n\n\n

In this match, he was down 40-15 and saved championship points against Federer to win the title. It was the third time this exact scenario had occurred following the pair\u2019s 2010 & 2011 US Open semifinal face-offs.<\/p>\n\n\n

This Olympic final was also a rematch of his 2024 Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz, so Nole\u2019s straight-sets triumph proved the GOAT’s brilliance even in the face of a new generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Nole defeated Rafa in the semifinals, another epic match that spanned two days. It was Nole\u2019s first big win after a slew of injuries and a dip in his career having not won a single Grand Slam in two years. Having even considered retirement earlier in the year, this match marked a revival in his career and he went on to win the title.<\/p>\n\n\n

In this match, he was down 40-15 and saved championship points against Federer to win the title. It was the third time this exact scenario had occurred following the pair\u2019s 2010 & 2011 US Open semifinal face-offs.<\/p>\n\n\n

This Olympic final was also a rematch of his 2024 Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz, so Nole\u2019s straight-sets triumph proved the GOAT’s brilliance even in the face of a new generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Nole is heavily regarded as the most clutch tennis player in the history of the sport, time and time again demonstrating his exceptional ability to win under pressure and secure the \u201cbig points\u201d. In this match, he was down 40-15 and saved championship points against Federer to win the title. It was the third time this exact scenario had occurred following the pair\u2019s 2010 & 2011 US Open semifinal face-offs.<\/p>\n\n\n
