Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic says Carlos Alcaras is a well-deserved victory in the Wimbledon final.
“You deserved to win. Incredible. I thought I’d have trouble with you on the ground and maybe on hard ground, but not on the turf. Now everything has changed. You’ve adapted incredibly well to the surface.
As for me, it is always unpleasant to lose such matches. But when the feelings calm down, I’ll still be very pleased. Tomorrow morning I will probably be proud of this result. “It’s hard for me to admit defeat when I’m this close to victory so far,” Djokovic said after the match.
On July 16, he lost 1:6, 7:6, 6:1, 3:6, 6:4 in a five-set match against 20-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaras. The match lasted 4 hours and 43 minutes.
Before this final, the Serbian tennis player had not lost in 2195 days turf Slam. Djokovic last lost at Wimbledon on 12 July 2017 after withdrawing from a match against Tomas Berdych.
Djokovic came second and Alcaraz came first in the Association of Professional Tennis Professionals (ATP) rankings. The top three were closed by the Russian Daniil Medvedev.
