Roller coaster ride of emotions: Djokovic’s emotional finale: from tantrum to tears

class=”sc-29f61514-0 fQbOYE”>

It would have been the most important and beautiful Wimbledon title for Novak Djokovic (36). Had he beaten Carlos Alcaraz (20), he would be the new old No. 1 from Monday, Roger Federer’s (41) Wimbledon record (8 titles) and Margaret Court’s all-gender Grand Slam record (81) , 24 titles) are level.

But it is precisely the subjunctive that prevails. In five sentences, the Serb must admit defeat to his opponent who is 16 years his junior. Even during the decisive penalty, Djokovic expressed his frustration about the approaching defeat.

When Alcaraz made the decisive break in the 5th set to make it 2-1, the Serb hammered against the net post with his racket. What remains is a totally abused playground equipment. He gets a warning and because it’s his second, Alcaraz gets a point.

Son moves Djokovic to tears

Everyone can understand that this epic game is an emotional roller coaster ride. First he rages, then he stands there with tears in his eyes. During his post-game speech, he looks at his son Stefan (8) and searches for words.

“It’s nice that my son is still here,” he thanks his offspring and adds in a trembling voice, “I love you. Thank you for supporting me. I’ll hug you tight.” (che)
