Since 1996, every Olympic gold medalist on the men’s side has also won a major except Nicolas Massu
Olympic Gold Medalists in that timespan:
* **1996:** Andre Agassi
* **2000:** Yevgeny Kafelnikov
* **2004:** Nicolas Massu
* **2008:** Rafael Nadal
* **2012:** Andy Murray
* **2016:** Andy Murray
* **2020 (2021):** Alexander Zverev
* **2024:** Novak Djokovic
For reference, tennis only became an event at the Summer Olympics in the open era in 1988.
Conversely on the women’s side, 4 of the last 5 Olympic Gold Medalists (Zheng, Bencic, Puig, and Dementieva) have not won a slam
