“Does Djokovic have enough left in the tank to get one more Slam?” Nick Kyrgios shares his opinion after Wimbledon final
Novak Djokovic was defeated in the finals of the 2024 Wimbledon, as Carlos Alcaraz prevailed once again. The Spaniard defeated the seven-time Wimbledon champion in straight sets to claim his fourth Grand Slam title. For the second consecutive year, Carlos Alcaraz has defeated the Serbian in the finals, however this time it was quite a comfortable victory.
Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios shared his opinion on Novak Djokovic’s future after his Wimbledon final loss. The former world number one has had quite a torrid year on the tour, as he is yet to win a single title so far.
Novak Djokovic had a surgery just two weeks before Wimbledon, and there were several question marks over his participation at Wimbledon this year. Nick Kyrgios reiterated that the Serbian was not quite at his physical best during the tournament due to his recent surgery.
“Let’s not forget, Djokovic playing this event, he did not have to play it. Physically he is not 100% but he decided to play it and he has said time and time again how important this event is to him,” said Kyrgios, as quoted by Eurosport.
“He threw everything at Carlos in the third set” : Nick Kyrgios on Novak Djokovic
Nick Kyrgios believes that Novak Djokovic threw everything at Carlos Alcaraz in the third set, however, it was not enough to stop the Spaniard. Nick Kyrgios stated that only time will tell if Novak Djokovic has at least one more Grand Slam title left in him.
Nick Kyrgios stated that Carlos Alcaraz has been clearly dominating the circuit, claiming the French Open and the Wimbledon in a span of just over a month. In such a case, it would be very difficult to upstage the 21-year-old Spaniard on any surface.
“He threw everything at Carlos in the third set and he just kept coming up with answers time and time again. Me and Tim (Henman) have had this conversation, it is a conversation all tennis fans need to have, is there one more Slam left for Djokovic on the calendar?,” said Kyrgios.
“With the come up of Alcaraz, and obviously two times in a row beating him in the final, does Djokovic have enough left in the tank to get one more Slam?,” he added.
Novak Djokovic will take a week’s break, and return to action at the Paris Olympics later this month. The Serbian is chasing an elusive Singles gold medal in what could be his final opportunity to do so.
