23 Wimbledon - Carlos Alcaraz Dethrones Novak Djokovic | Coffee Break Tennis

[@xux1459]

The mental game for Alcaraz was key. He embraced the path to victory, and not only focus on the final target. That's is the way to achieve big things and dont add pressure to yourself. He said the day before the final, it is going to be the best day of my life, despite result.

[@aleksandarfrick2656]

Dose was too strong - he lost first set and shout on his box ,destiny , god ...from second made level in his suddenly muscular body . He is sweet boy , don't get me wrong . Love Nolo on hard courts .

[@innosanto]

Basically, and I think it was careful planning by Ferrero, Alcaraz was pushing with patience and waiting for pressure to build on the bug name and faborite and the older player in order to make a mistake.

[@trevorpullen3199]

I listened to a podcast last summer with legendary tennis coach Rick Macci (discovered and coached the Williams sisters). This was after he won Madrid, before he won the U.S. Open. He said something along the lines of "As long as Alcaraz doesn't have major injuries, he will be the best tennis player of all time". He also made the Federer/Nadal/Djokovic comparison at the time, but said his game most resembled Federer, but he moved like Nadal and could stretch like Djokovic. 100% spot on. What an eye for talent that guy has.

[@colethomas903]

Trevor I agree the 1st time I seen I had said the comparison in my view was USO 2021 and IW/Miami 2022 just felt something different that I hadn’t seen since those guys and all in 1 player

[@innosanto]

This is very wrong statement and childish even if the guy is experienced. It is enthusiasm. The truth is that it is all relative and every goat is judged by the contemporary era elements of the game. There is no aingle goat because it would require same conditions to compare. As Agassi has said: “every era goat player add new elements to the game”. Agassi added some and then they became part of new gen training, Sampras added some, Borg Mc Enroe Becker added some, Fed, Nadal, Djok added some and Alcaraz adds some new elements to the game. The new elements are part of the era goat and then they become part of the aport and training of the kids watching. Then a new person will take the body of sport and add some new elements with the conditions of the time, the gameplay time elements (how long sets and fames wil last), the pace, the courts, the racquets and balls, the body training and recovery technologies therapies and supplements of the time, the strategy discoveries etc

[@Fontsman-14]

We are dealing with a genuine rival. Djokovic knows that Carlos is the real deal with deadly weapons and tremendous mental strength.

[@innosanto]

He now does. First time Djokovic was in terrible shape and recoverying from 6 months out, second tjme he win, but this was the real game. What Alcaraz showed is that he is genuine rival because he has the plan, strategy, patience, tactics. As he has said he watches Rocky but also plays chess as preparation for games and they are both there.

Do you mean the best player that day? Probably. The better player no, Djokovic is by far the best player and GOAT of tennis until Alcaraz or somebody else surpass his all times records. And even if he does it, remember that Djokovic did it coinciding in time with Federer and Nadal, the 3 of them battled the records at the same time, Alcaraz when Djokovic’ retires don’t have anyone at that the level of competition.

[@alextabet9247]

Everything is possible, but it is harder to beat Novak in Melbourne Park than it is at SW19. From what I have seen so far (in Madrid, Roland Garros and Wimbledon), Novak and Carlos are going to have an actual rivalry for the next 2 years, with each winning at least 2-3 majors each.

[@colethomas903]

Alex that’s why I say it be the true changing of the guard if Carlos beats him at AO that be even more impressive then Sunday at Wimbledon

[@alextabet9247]

@@colethomas903 I agree. The changing of the guard is inevitable. And in a way, it has already happened , as Carlos has replaced Rafa, winning two majors since Rafa has essentially been sidelined due to injury. But Alcaraz' incredible victory at Wimbledon does not mean that Novak is done. I think Djokovic has at least another year, perhaps 2 years, of peak form. In that time, his chances of beating Carlos at 50/50. I am hoping for more meetings between those two. Of course, I could easily be proven wrong, and Carlos could well win the US Open and the Australian Open, in which case, Novak could be done. Only time can tell. But this one 5-set loss in the final at Wimbledon, which could just as easily have been a win, does not mean much in the grand scheme of things.

[@yassinedinia7948]

It was a match for the history books. I think the 2nd set tie break was not decisive in Djokovic loss. Djokovic was ready to problem solve for 5 sets. The decisive moment is when everyone felt the momentum was with Djokovic in the 5th set and yet he missed a forehand volley to lead 2-0 and serve potentially for 3-0. He should have just let the ball bounce and then fire a strong forehand down the line. That kept Alcaraz alive in the 5th set who produced unbelievable winners

[@manuelgasse]

Yeah, it was on Novak’s racquet. I will have nightmares for a while about that missed volley. He would have won.

[@jakehuang3545]

The thing is, I think Alcaraz ALREADY is going on a tear. After he won the USO, he skipped the AO, and then made it to SF of RG where he pretty much only lost due to cramps; and now he's won Wimbledon. I really believe with this kid's talent, game, and mentally, he already is at the stage where the respective Big3's are at their peak (i.e. Fed's 2004-07 & Novak's 2011-15) where they are just supposed to win every slam.

[@robert111k]

The faster the court, the better it is for Alcaraz. I believe it's time to let go of absurd prejudices and see reality for what it truly is.

[@BOZ_11]

yeah, why would the fastest guy in tennis history, who hits twice as many winners as novak, suck on a fast court? hah

[@PadrinoGambino]

What Djokovic continues to do is incredible, reaching 3 GS finals at 36 years old and winning 2 GS is impressive. Very good for Alcaraz, however this is not the "change of guard" yet as many people is saying. He lost the W23 Final, but he hasn’t retired. People that says that is just a Djokovic hater or a tennis casual. He still have gas on the tank. The GOAT’s Era isn’t finished yet. He will come stronger for the next 2 GS, specially with Alcaraz being favourite and having the pressure. Also it must be considered that if there’s a change of guard in the future (probably if Djokovic doesn’t win AO24) is not the typical one like was the Connors and Borg with McEnroe and Lendl (between 3 to 7 years apart), Lendl-Wilander (5 years apart), Wilander-Becker (3 years apart), Becker-Sampras (4 years apart), Sampras-Federer (10 years apart), Federer-Nadal (5 years apart), Nadal-Djokovic (11 months apart). DJOKOVIC-ALCARAZ ARE 16 YEARS APART! It's abysmal. So kudos to Djokovic that is still battling against a young promise future guard way more younger than the old guard ever before. Although Djokovic is in the final part of his career, he will continue to compete this year and the next year, being together with Alcaraz, the top 2 on the circuit. Whatever Djokovic does from now on will only further enhance his legacy. Undisputed GOAT.

[@toddjohnson271]

Djokovic will be much more comfortable being written off as underdog.

[@PadrinoGambino]

⁠@@toddjohnson271I think so too. I actually hated when in press conference Djokovic answered that he considered himself the favourite to win this Wimbledon. He should have put the pressure on Alcaraz instead, like he did in the FO. I got scared when he said that and thought to myself he might lose this time. To me, that’s why when he lost the tie break in the 2nd set he couldn’t recovered, because he must have felt all that pressure. Same reason in the fifth set he got his serve broken and then smashed the racquet. He couldn’t handle it. As an underdog like you say,he would have been much confortable. Hope he can make it at the USO.

Alcatraz is coming for the Australian Open next year too.

[@slc2466]

@@dpistons149 I'm feeling shades of Nadal/Federer, circa 2008 Wimbledon-2009 Aussie Open could come into play. It will be a very savory match if Carlos and Novak meet in Australia next year, in any case.

Djokovic made two UE in that tiebreaks.. inexcusable

[@squorly]

Highly unusual

[@robbyten100]

[@David-te9nq]

Sure, but he probably felt pressured because he was against Alcaraz. And even if he wouldn't have made the errors he could still have lost the points. Also, Alcaraz missed a volley that should have been a winner.

[@slc2466]

I picked Carlos in a poll the night before because 1) I'd seen him play at Indian Wells in 2022 and nothing he's done since has surprised me and 2) I thought he'd be playing with nothing (or little) to lose. It's going to be interesting to see how things play out for Alcaraz now. He's already in the Hall of Fame at 20 (with 2 slams, almost 30 weeks at #1 and counting, 4 Masters), so there should be a lot of gravy ahead for him. Hope Rafa can come back next year, but no one's going to have an easy time with Carlos surging.

[@jonathanchen1026]

The forehand and attacking mentally and footwork of Federer, the speed and fight and spin of Nadal, the sliding ability and defense to offense and drop shots of Djokovic, the never give up on any point and lobs and point construction of Murray. He’s the best of the Big 4.

I don't see the Federer sorry, he's not graceful enough, I see the Novak and Nadal though and see his own style with the dropshots and lobs

His forehand has a lot of Nadal too. His net play is Federer like, as well as his shot making variety and improvisation. His court coverage is Djokovic like and his fighting spirit is like Nadal.

[@D_LEGEND]

Biggest factor in this match was the wind. One player adapted well, the other's 1st serve placement apart from the 1st set was quite a bit off.....the added pressure of less free points for Djokovic and Alcaraz playing well is a constant loop that just produced this outcome. That long game even helped Alcaraz start reading Nole's serve better. Too bad Djokovic could not adapt and be more aggressive. The better player won on the day, but still took a monumental effort to defeat Djoker.

[@TheKingjake03]

Did you forget that Djokovic was gifted a free set due to Carlos's nerves?

[@D_LEGEND]

@@TheKingjake03 actually if u watched the 1stbset it wasn't nerves, it was the fact that Alcaraz tried to blow Djokovic off the court. Bad tactics. But i guess u didn't watch. He gifted it, but by being silly.

Mr Coffee Brik, is obvious that Carlos Alcaraz’ english language is very limited for the moment, please, do not make laugh of him in that sarcastic way. What he tried to say is that he is confident in himself, and not that he is the best, he is a very humble and honest person. You can learn spanish, and then, you will see and will stop being arrogant and sarcastic. Gracias

[@dj_m19]

maybe, if you've got memory of a goldfish or started following tennis 2 days ago after Alcaraz's win. Novak faced many more soul crushing defeats in his life when stakes were higher (2015 RG!!!) and bounced back stronger than ever. This guy is probably the only guy you shouldn't underestimate considering what he's done to prove the haters and naysayers wrong. Yet here we are, 2 days after one win from Alcaraz and you're doing it again. Fly high, crash low/hard.

[@dpistons149]

@@dj_m19 this loss was much worse than RG15. Djokovic doesn’t lose 5 set matches in grand-slam finals . Federer never beat Novak in a 5 set match, it’s extremely difficult. If it goes 5 you expect Novak to win and alcaraz beat him. And Novak doesn’t lose at Wimbledon. He has a losing record against Alcaraz now.

how is the aus open court different from other hard courts? I don't know if I heard right, but did you say that its faster and lower bouncing than the wimbeldon courts?

[@dj_m19]

what would actually make sense is if Federer were to come back and avenge that loss in a similar fashion. Not only did Novak not have and squander 2 championship points, he also faced a totally different human being and tennis player.

The weak era is over, thankfully. The last 4 years were very bad, standard wise. I remember Federer when 38 at the Australian open, bemoaning that a 38 year old was the strong favourite. He argued that it should not be the case. He was indirectly saying that he was playing in a weak era.

[@molybdaenmornell123hopp5]

I'd like Federer to keep the outright Wimbledon record, just like Rafa has the French and Novak the Australian.

[@pavementpounder7502]

I was surprised the odds were so much in Djokovic's favour and almost all the experts were tipping him. I thought it was a 50/50, but had a hunch Carlos would win. Nole wasn't at his best but Carlos was amazing, credit to him. Wanted Novak to get the calendar slam but now don't care as much, Alcaraz plays a more exciting brand, he's gonna be hard to beat.

[@tomerg7265]

I'm not devastated at all. The best really won this match. The scary thing is that Alcaraz didn't even play his best

Fed played with the same small size racquet as Sampras did until he changed it in 2013/2014 and still was one of the few that still came into the net whenever he played on grass.

[@alextabet9247]

Novak hits that backhand 10 centimeters higher at 6-5 in the second set tie break, and it is lights out! Even Carlos admitted as much. Those two will be evenly matched. I think Novak has learned more about Carlos than Carlos has learned about Novak, so I think Novak will have more success against Carlos in the future. That being said, Carlos is a generational talent, on par with the Big 3. He deserved beating Novak on Sunday. He belongs on that stage. I am hoping for more epic finals between those two.

[@Nazhuk]

No way Novak learned more. Carlos litterally beat the guy people said he cant beat. He will never be afraid of Novak again. In Rolland Garros Alcaraz crumbled mentally because how great Novak is. Carlos shit in his pants and now after he beat him he knows Novak isnt unbeatable and that he can outplay him. If they meet in US Open Alcaraz will beat him easier

[@alextabet9247]

@@Nazhuk I disagree. I think it is the other way around. Carlos had years to study Novak, and he received advice from multiple sources on how to beat Novak, while Novak had only his experience with Carlos to go on. I feel that if they meet again, Novak will have the upper hand. And if Carlos does not fear Novak, he is a moron. Novak was one missed backhand away from beating him in straight sets. Everybody fears Novak. And Novak definitely fears Carlos. Carlos is an incredible talent that commands respect too. Respecting your opponent is the first step in beating them. Anyway, we will know soon enough. The next 6-12 months will be fascinating. I think those two will play each other many times in the coming 24 months, and they will both win matches. I doubt it will be a one-sided affair...not until Novak is too old to compete, which won't be for another 2 years.

[@BOZ_11]

Novak has never had a good overhead/smash. i remember arguing with my darling Slav community members and being told overheads don't matter, and here we are. Carlos's smash is absolutely sublime! Not quite Pistol Pete, but hot damn. Playing in the wind SHOULD have favored the 20-year veteran and 7 time winner, not the young buck with fewer than 20 matches on grass in his lifetime; this is a bit of an excuse, Matt. Federer is not allowed excuses, so keep that same energy for Novak. Novak losing isn't terribly sad because he's the most successful tennis player of all time, and we have 20 years of Carlos to look forward to. Why should Carlos have to put his life/career on hold, waiting for Novak to turn 40? It's his time now, and we need to see a handing over of the baton, the way it was done with Sampras, Agassi, Becker, and Federer. Circle of life. There needs to be a big celebration for Novak when he decides to hang it up, but he's still the most consistent player on tour IMO, so the death knell is premature (as you rightly said).
