The legendary Rod Laver celebrated Alcaraz’s accomplishment.
Djokovic finds himself in unfamiliar territory as tennis heads to the US Open next month. This was the fifth time in his career in 37 Grand Slam finals that he lost in straight sets.
“Obviously not the result that I wanted, especially the first couple of sets,” Djokovic said. “The level of tennis wasn’t up to par, really, from my side. He had it all today. I tried to push him. … It wasn’t meant to be.”
