Wimbledon 2023: Novak Djokovic’s statement came after losing to Carlos…

World No. 2 ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic was defeated by world No. 1 ranked player Carlos Alcarez in the Wimbledon 2023 final. Carlos won the Wimbledon title for the first time. There were many exciting twists and turns in this match which lasted for four hours and 42 minutes on July 16. In this thrilling match, Carlos Alcarez defeated Novak playing Grand Slam final match for the 35th time.

 

Novak won the first set 1–6. After this, Carlos made a strong comeback to take a 7-6 (6), 6-1 lead in the match. After this, Novak again worked to take the match to the fifth set at 3-6 and did not give an easy victory to Carlos. Meanwhile, after winning the fourth set, Alcaraz earned points by breaking Djokovic’s serve in the fifth set.

 

Anyone can feel remorse after losing a big match. Novak Djokovic has two regrets after his defeat against Carlos Alcarez in the thrilling final of the Wimbledon tennis tournament on Sunday night. Serbia’s 36-year-old Djokovic was just one point away from winning the first two sets against 20-year-old Alcarez in the second set tie-breaker but squandered the opportunity to give the Spaniard a set win to level the match at 1-1.

 

Djokovic then missed a volley on break point in the fifth set when the seven-time Wimbledon champion was in good touch. “There are some regrets,” Djokovic said after the 6-1, 6-7, 1-6, 6-3, 4-6 loss. “I had my chances. I think I could have finished the second set tiebreak better. But credit goes to him (Alcarez) for fighting and showing great defensive skills. Gave him a chance by playing a bad shot in the fifth set. “He deserved to win today,” said the former world number one. It doesn’t have any message.”

 

Djokovic was just one win away from equaling Roger Federer’s record of eight wins at the All England Club. Also, if Djokovic had won this title, he would have left behind Serena Williams’ record 23 Grand Slam titles in the Open era that began in 1968.
