Novak Djokovic has admitted that Carlos Alcaraz outclassed him after losing the Wimbledon 2024 Men’s Singles title to the Spaniard in Sunday’s final.

Djokovic lost (2-6, 2-6 and 6-7 (4-7) in a straight set, marking his second in succession, after suffering defeat in a five-set epic last
year.

According to Skysports, the Serbian player expressed optimism to fight another day.

“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.”

Djokovic added: “I tried to fight my way in the third and come back, saving three match points, extending the match a little bit. But I guess it was inevitable for him to win today because he was just coming out on the court with better quality tennis. It’s as simple as that.

“I don’t think I could have done much more. I’ve never seen him serve that fast. He must have had a really good serving practice day yesterday. Overall he really outplayed me.”
