Just a few minutes after being defeated in the 2024 Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz, the Serbian player spoke to the Serbian press. In that interview, Novak Djokovic explained in a very sincere and honest way why he maintained a calmer attitude, not showing his emotions during his match against the Spanish player. This behavior was widely commented on around the world, with many fans hoping for that reaction in search of a possible comeback that never materialized.
Djokovic explains why he kept a restrained attitude in the Wimbledon final against Alcaraz
"That's what people usually say when I lose, that I am very flat," Novak begins telling SportKlub. "It's impossible for that to be the reason for the defeat. There are moments in certain matches when you need to throw something, and there are other matches where you seek the optimal balance, to remain calm, conserve energy, and use it constructively," explains the Serbian. In the final moments of the third set, we could see some signs of encouragement from him, although overall, Djokovic had a very restrained attitude considering the situation he was in.
No reproaches
"We could ask ourselves what would have happened if I had started yelling at people at the beginning of the second set and getting into fights with the crowd. I doubt that would have helped me," Novak clarifies, who accepted the defeat once the final against Carlos Alcaraz ended with an exemplary attitude. "Congratulations to Carlos, in sporting terms, he got the better of me. Now it's time to move on," Djokovic concluded. The immediate future now points to the upcoming event at the Paris Olympics, where they will have to return to clay courts to represent their respective countries, a battle that will start in the French capital on July 26 and run until August 11.
