“The level of tennis wasn’t up to par from my side, Carlos had it all today”: Novak Djokovic lauds Carlos Alcaraz after Wimbledon thrashing
Novak Djokovic was well beaten in a one sided beating from Carlos Alcaraz with a 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 defeat which was only prolonged after the Spaniard spurned 40-0 up on championship point at 5-4. It is back-to-back Wimbledon crowns and agony for a second straight year for Djokovic.
Djokovic still awaits number 25 and he still awaits his 8th and landmark Wimbledon title which would see him tie with Roger Federer as the undisputed king of Wimbledon. But for the Serbian, he was as ever gracious in defeat. Annabel Croft doing the presentation on court had a blunder and said that Alcaraz looked very hot today which caused a lot of laughter.
To which Djokovic agreed before praising his rival to the hilt and saying he was simply not good enough for what Alcaraz produced on Sunday evening. Only a few weeks removed from knee surgery, Djokovic reaching the final in itself was a miracle but he couldn’t complete the final part of said miracle.
