1 DAY. Novak Djokovic reveals that it was quick for him to recover from losing to Carlos Alcaraz in Wimbledon

The disappointment Novak Djokovic experienced when Carlos Alcaraz won the Wimbledon competition has long since passed.

Novak Djokovic Moved On

Novak Djokovic has long moved past the disappointment he felt after Carlos Alcaraz won the Wimbledon tournament.

On July 16, Alcaraz defeated Djokovic in a tense final at Wimbledon and snatched the title from the legend. The 36-year-old was just one victory away from winning his third major championship of the year.

Djokovic stated ahead of the Western & Southern Open. “It’s not the first [nor] the last match that I lost, so I was over it in a day. Obviously, I needed some really good rest after that, and some time with my family, and that’s what I did. So, of course, I was regretting not using the chances during that final.”

Djokovic further added: “I think he was a deserved winner and that’s it really, pretty much. You move on. I need to obviously move on and try to regroup and find motivation for what’s coming up, and all the challenges that are ahead of me, and that’s why I’m here.”
