“Novak Is Still Superman”: Alcaraz Yields To Djokovic’s Amazing Resilience

Even though Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon Championships final in 2024, the Serbian’s performance in London left him feeling highly impressed.

The seven-time champion was anticipated to miss Wimbledon due to meniscus surgery after withdrawing from the Roland Garros only a few weeks prior to the start of the grass-court major.

Not even his surgeon thought he could recover in time to play in the tournament, thus it was a remarkable accomplishment in and of itself. The fact that Djokovic’s knee continued to bother him was another issue.

He was not able to play at his peak over the whole tournament, not even in the championship match. When he appeared to miss half a stride on every stroke, it was clear he wouldn’t be able to defeat Alcaraz. Nevertheless, he persevered and played well, forcing the Spaniard to a tie-break in the match’s third set.

Overall, Alcaraz acknowledged that the race had been incredibly inspirational despite all the obstacles. He discussed it at the press conference held following the game as well as the post-match interview conducted on the court.

Before the competition, Alcaraz referred to Djokovic as “Superman,” and he said the description still applied after two weeks in the British capital.

“Well, I continue to think that Novak is Superman. It’s incredible what he accomplished in this competition having surgery only a few weeks before to the start of the competition. It’s astounding.”

“I was discussing with my squad, as I mentioned on court, how amazing the work he’s done. He allowed himself the opportunity to participate in the event. To make it to the final is an incredible feeling for me. Today, I defeated him. However, Novak will always be Superman to me.”

Djokovic has stated publicly that his objectives for this season are the US Open and the Olympic Games in Paris. It is predicted that he will continue to appear better with time. His knee should be well enough by then for him to contend for the prize. Against all odds, he did at SW19 already.
