Novak Djokovic, nice words for Carlos Alcaraz after the final of Wimbledon 2023

Having reached the age of 36, Novak Djokovic once again proved that he is in excellent physical shape.

Despite losing the Wimbledon final to Carlos Alcaraz, the ATP leader, the Serb played some impressive tennis, but not enough to match the Iberian’s attack and enthusiasm.

Novak Djokovic, who was even watched from the stands by his son, had nice words for his opponent in the All England Club final, he even got emotional and cried at the end of the dispute with Alcaraz.

“It’s not a great moment for me, but it is for Carlos. I have to start the boxes for him. You played very well in the ending, you were inspired in the work. Congratulations Carlos.

I thought I would only have problems with you on dirt, but here you are giving me big problems on grass as well. Congratulations on adapting to the surface. It’s amazing what you did in Quency. Congratulations to your team.

As for me, I don’t like to lose a match like this. I have to remain grateful because I won many close matches and titles. In 2019 with Roger. Maybe I should have lost a few finals, but now we’re stuffed.

I’ll think about it tomorrow (not if he’s proud). I don’t really like defeat today. We work for these moments. These are the most important tournaments in the world. I’ve had some incredible matches throughout my career and this one will go down in the tennis history books. I would like to win, but I lost to a strong player. I congratulate him and go on. Maybe even stronger.

It’s nice to see my son smile (no Djokovic cried). i love you Thank you for your support and hugs to you all.” Nole concluded.
