Afterwards, Djokovic said that his fall in the quarterfinals to Alex de Minaur had bothered him considerably, at least the consequences. “To be honest, it didn’t feel very nice to be on the track. I don’t want to go into detail and don’t whine about it. I want to congratulate Jannik with another great performance. He was too good,” Djokovic honestly admitted.

Sinner also won at Roland Garros in the semi -final battle in Straight Sets from Djokovic. At the Australian Open, Djokovic had to give up against Alexander Zverev in the last four.

“I don’t think it’s bad luck. It’s just the age, the wear of my body. No matter how good I am for care, the reality now, the last year and a half, through. And if never before, frankly, it is difficult for me to accept that, for I have the feeling that when I am Fit, I can still do it very well.

Djokovic is honest after his hopeless defeat. He has 24 Grandslams in his pocket, but number 25 is further away than ever. “The longer the tournament lasts, yes, the worse my condition gets. I get the semi -finals of every Grand Slam this year, but then I have to play against Sinner (23 years old) or Alcaraz (22 years old). These guys are fit, young and sharp. I feel that I am going into the game with a half -empty tank.”

“You just can’t win such a competition,” Djokovic continued. “It is what it is. It is one of the things that I somehow accept and embrace. I deal with reality and try to make the best of it.”

Is Novak Djokovic back at Wimbledon next year?

Of course Djokovic was also asked if this was his last edition of Wimbledon. The man who has always participated in London since 2005 now has no answer. “I don’t know. At the moment I feel so fresh outside the track. It is difficult to list what the coming months will look like. Besides the fact that I have not won a grand slam this year and last year, I still have the idea that I play my best tennis during the Majors.”
