# Tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's singles

"none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see [[WP:SDNONE]]
Serbia's Novak Djokovic defeated Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in the final, 7–6$^{(7–3)}$, 7–6$^{(7–2)}$ to win the gold medal in men's singles tennis event at the 2024 Summer Olympics. It was Serbia's first gold medal in Olympic tennis. With the win, Djokovic completed the Career Golden Slam (becoming the third man to do so, after Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal), the Career Super Slam (the second man to do so, after Agassi), and became the first (and currently only) man to win all Big Titles in singles. By winning the gold medal, Djokovic became the oldest men's singles champion in Olympic tennis, while Alcaraz became the youngest finalist. Djokovic also became the first man to win the Olympics without dropping a set during the tournament. En route to victory, he defeated Nadal in their record-extending 60th and final professional meeting, and their 11th encounter at Stade Roland Garros, to end their head-to-head at 31–29 in his favor.
In the bronze medal match, Italy's Lorenzo Musetti defeated Canada's Félix Auger-Aliassime, 6–4, 1–6, 6–3. It was Italy's second Olympic tennis medal, 100 years after Uberto De Morpurgo won a bronze medal in the men's singles in 1924.
The men's singles tennis event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place from 27 July to 4 August 2024 at the Stade Roland Garros, in Paris, France. There were 64 players from 27 nations.
Alexander Zverev was the defending gold medalist from 2021, but lost in the quarterfinals to Musetti.
For the second time (after 2012), the same two players (Djokovic and Alcaraz) contested both the Wimbledon and Olympics finals in the same year, with the Wimbledon runner-up going on to win Olympic gold both times.

## Background

This was the 17th (medal) appearance of the men's singles tennis event. The event has been held at every Summer Olympics where tennis has been on the program: from 1896 to 1924 and then from 1988 to the current program. Demonstration events were held in 1968 and 1984.
The No. 1 seed was Novak Djokovic of Serbia, who was making his fifth Olympic appearance and attempting to complete the Career Golden Slam after reaching the semifinals in 2008 (bronze medal), 2012 (fourth place), and 2020 (fourth place). The No. 2 seed was Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, making his Olympic debut. The defending champion and No. 3 seed was Alexander Zverev of Germany. Defending silver medalist Karen Khachanov and defending bronze medalist Pablo Carreño Busta did not compete, though the latter did participate in the doubles event. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner withdrew before the tournament due to tonsillitis. Other top players who were not present included Andrey Rublev, Hubert Hurkacz, Alex de Minaur (competed only in doubles), and Grigor Dimitrov.

## Qualification

Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter up to four players. Nations are limited to four players in the event since the 2000 Games. Qualification for the men's singles is primarily through the ATP ranking list. There are 64 quota places available for men's singles.

## Competition format

The competition was a single-elimination tournament with a bronze medal match. Matches were best-of-3 sets. A 7 point tiebreak was played in all sets reaching 6–6, including the last set of a match.
