Turning the tables, Carlos Alcaraz claims victory over Novak Djokovic in a thrilling second consecutive Wimbledon final! While the Serb was ready to go for his first title of the year, the young Spaniard didn’t leave any opportunity for him. However, as he faced defeat, tennis fans are now uncertain about the 24-time Grand Slam champion’s tennis future.

By easily defeating seven-time champion Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz won his fourth Grand Slam championship and successfully defended his Grass Slam title, taking out Djokovic in straight sets 6-2,6-2,7-6. With this win, the finals match from the previous year—in which Alcaraz prevailed in an exciting five-set encounter on the All England Club’s grass—was recapped.

By becoming the sixth player to win Wimbledon and the French Open consecutively, the third-seeded Spanish player created history and demonstrated his incredible talent and willpower. Alcaraz not only won the tournament but also prevented Djokovic from winning a record-setting 25 majors, securing his place among the greatest players in tennis history.

After the final, a tennis journalist took to his Twitter handle to share a poll regarding the 37-year-old tennis player’s future. Along with that, he wrote, “Do you think Novak Djokovic will win another Slam title?” With the majority sighting towards No, everyone came forward to share their views over this debacle.

A few days ago, Prakash Amritraj backed the 24-time Grand Slam champion while discussing his longevity on the tennis court. The Indian-American former tennis player appeared on the Up and Adams Show, where he shared his thoughts on the 37-year-old tennis player’s resilience.

Despite not having won a single title this year, Amritraj emphasized the importance of historical context when evaluating Djokovic’s career. He stated, “Amazing, every great I think has that one last trick up his sleeve, like when Rafa won that Australian Open, he was down two sets to love against Medvedev. Won…Tiger Woods when he won that last Masters.” 

Even though there might be a ray of hope for the Serb, tennis fans recently shared their take on what the future looks like for him after the Wimbledon defeat.

Novak Djokovic’s future in tennis worries fans 

Looking into Djokovic’s future, tennis fans have expressed concerns over his ability to continue dominating, particularly in Grand Slam finals. Some believe his chances are dwindling, as one fan commented, “I don’t think he’ll make another slam final. He won’t get this kind of draw ever again, presumably.” Others share a sense of things coming to an end about his prospects, with one stating, “No. He had a good run though.”

On the other hand, there are other things that are important, as the physical demands of the sport also raise doubts. As another fan noted, “Hard to see his body holding up for 7 best-of-five matches on any surface but grass.” 

Djokovic, now 37, faces the challenge of maintaining peak physical condition to compete against younger, rising stars, as he is dealing with a knee injury to start with. Subsequently, a fan talked about how rising competition is another significant factor, that can result in the downfall, that he faced this year, pointing towards Carlos Alcaraz and Janik Sinner.

They wrote, “Probably not, because age catches up with everyone and Alcaraz and Sinner are already good enough to beat him.” The fan did concede, though, that Djokovic might still have a chance in the event of a perfect draw: “But if the draw means he only has to play one of them and he plays at his best and they have an off day, a win is possible.”

Supporters of Djokovic are becoming increasingly concerned that he might be limited to 24 Grand Slam victories, as seen by a fan’s anxiety, “I’m actually starting to get worried he’s gonna be stuck at 24.”

If Djokovic had won today, he would not only have broken his own record for most ATP Grand Slams ever won, but also tied with Roger Federer for 8 Wimbledon titles. Djokovic’s next performance will surely be an engaging story that strikes a balance between the importance of the past and the unwavering quest for greatness.
