Watch the 2024 Olympic men's tennis final replay, as Carlos Alcaraz aimed to cap his first Olympics by denying Novak Djokovic the gold that's always evaded him. Play began at 8am ET / 1pm BST on Sunday August 4 but full replays are available. Below we have all the information on how to watch the men's tennis final at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

At 37, this was likely to be Djokovic's last ever shot at filling the only real gap in his CV. It's almost unfathomable that the Serb had never tasted Olympic glory – in fact, this is the first time he's reached the final – and to capture gold he would need to get the better of the 21-year-old superstar who dismantled him at Wimbledon last month.

It was the most brutal hiding we've seen Djokovic subjected to in years, and though their head-to-head is dead-level at three wins apiece (1-1 on clay), it feels as if Alcaraz holds a psychological and a physical edge right now. Here's where to watch the Olympic men's tennis final and all the 2024 Olympic tennis live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options and a full replay of the match.
