Novak Djokovic He had several chances to put himself in very favorable situations to win his eighth championship title. Wimbledon. For this reason, perhaps his defeat against Carlos Alcaraz is one of the most painful of his career, despite the fact that the Spanish had a hellish level. The years go by and the opportunities for the Serbian to increase his record of Grand Slams are not many. In fact, there are those who believe that the Balkan let the last train pass at the All England Club.

Nole was terminated on several occasions and always showed that he has a lot of tennis to give. However, the historic coach Gunter Bresnik He was blunt about what remains for the Belgrade native’s career: “Djokovic he was unable to play his best tennis throughout the match. I have a theory that rivalries with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray led to some of his best performances. Not only in the game, but also during training or preparing for a match. And that rivalry does not exist with alcaraz“, he sentenced.
The overwhelming difference in ages and stages of their careers makes it difficult for Djokovic see alcaraz in the same way as the other members of the Big 3. Despite the fact that they always give away great battles, Boris Becker’s former coach assured that it does not have the same taste for the Serbian: “I have always said that Djokovic will lose motivation once there is no more constant competition with Nadal and Federer and he has already won 23 Grand Slam titles. Alcaraz, on the other hand, played freely and has it easier against the older ones because they are in decline. The branches are high, but descending,” he said in an interview with the Kleine Zeitung.

For this reason, Bresnik does not believe that tennis will see a Djokovic with blood in the eye and murderous mentality. Something that draws attention, since the number two in the world won two of the three Grand Slams that were played in 2023 and, without a doubt, is one of the candidates for the US Open.
Despite this, the Austrian, self-proclaimed as “the most respected coach in the world”, believes that alcaraz he is unrivaled: “He can land all the shots and he is already a complete player, but above all he is an incredible athlete. I always recount what Gaël Monfils told me. After a match against him, he said that Alcaraz’s shots were fast and powerful, but that was not the big problem for him as an opponent. He was surprised when he saw how fast Alcaraz was. And Monfils knew what he was saying, he himself is one of the fastest on the tour. Also, Alcaraz is serious and yet funny This sounds contradictory, but it is not,” he recalled.
