Looking back to July 16, 2023, Djokovic faced a similar defeat against Carlos Alcaraz. While the Serb stood against the Alcaraz with a glossy 2195-day undefeated win streak, the Spaniard made sure that he snatched that from him, along with the Wimbledon title.
As the two events showed an amazing resemblance of 2195 days, it seems like Novak Djokovic had to experience the wrath of the stars. Now that Sinner has moved ahead into the finals, it still remains to be seen who he will be facing. However, Djokovic will have to fly back home, and while he does that, today’s match might be revisited as one of his worst Grand Slam matches played by him.
