Novak Djokovic on Wimbledon loss to Carlos Alcaraz: “The way I felt today against him, I was inferior. That’s it. He played every single shot better than I did”; Follow updates from the ATP and WTA tours at Basted, Gstaad, Hamburg, Palermo & Budapest live on Sky Sports Tennis
For the second year in succession, Djokovic suffered defeat in a Wimbledon final to 21-year-old Alcaraz, but whereas last year was a five-set epic which could have gone either way, 2024’s finale was rather more one-sided.
Indeed, the defeat was the first time in over a decade – since Andy Murray’s 2013 Wimbledon success – that Djokovic was beaten in straight sets in a Grand Slam final on grass, going down 6-2 6-2 7-6 (7-4).
“He was the better player from the beginning until the end,” Djokovic said. “You can always analyse the match, of course, and say I could have done this or that.
“Just overall the way I felt on the court today against him, I was inferior on the court. That’s it. He was a better player. He played every single shot better than I did.
