Novak Djokovic has suffered a harsh setback, as it always is to lose a Grand Slam final. However, doing so for the second consecutive year at Wimbledon, one of his favorite tournaments, and against a young player like Carlos Alcaraz, being deprived of the opportunity to equal Federer's titles at the British Grand Slam, is interpreted by many as a sign of change in tennis.

He has yet to defeat a top-10 player this season, will enter the final stretch of the season without having won a title, and sees Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz continuously improving. The logic of time passing is becoming more apparent, showing that nothing is eternal, not even the supremacy of Novak Djokovic, the greatest player of all time, who at 36 years old managed to reach all four Grand Slam finals.

During a press conference, he was asked whether this defeat at Wimbledon 2024 should be seen as a definitive shift in the elite of tennis, as some influential voices suggested, including Kyrgios. Djokovic's response was captured by Sportklub and is worth noting.

"It is logical for people to talk about these things now; it seems there is always a need for headlines of this kind and grandiose news. Many people are not satisfied with me remaining at the top, so they will be eager for that change to occur. That is an intrinsic part of my sporting career, and I always manage to work, perform, and live with it. Obviously, the more important the tournament in which I lose, the more media coverage it will have," he commented.

It appears clear that Novak Djokovic is tired of feeling undervalued but gives much credit to what Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are achieving. "Carlos' results make it deserved to talk about a generational change on his part, and Sinner is doing very well this year, but these results must be validated over time. There are people who have not even come close to winning Grand Slam titles making these assertions. Well, words are carried away by the wind," he affirmed, unwilling to engage in further controversy. He will seek to overturn all these opinions at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the US Open 2024.
