Djokovic spoke about tough losses being a part of the game. He then took a trip down memory lane and recalled another iconic Wimbledon final. The Serb said, “I have to still be very grateful because I won many-many tight and close matches in the past here. To name a few, in 2019 against Roger in that final where I was two match points down. Maybe, I should have lost a couple of finals that I won so I think this is even-steven (laughs with the crowd).”

Many people believe that Djokovic should have lost the 2019 final against Roger Federer. The Swiss Maestro won more points and more games across five sets. However, he failed to close each of them out in tiebreaks. Djokovic ended up winning?7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12.

It was indeed an emotional night for the Serb. He has had plenty of those in his career but this one saw him break down on the Centre Court.
