Novak Djokovic’s dream of winning Wimbledon for the fifth time in a row and the eighth time overall is not fulfilled, his supporters are disappointed. This disappointment was also among the spectators who came to the court to watch the game. But there was one such child among the audience, who was smiling.
When Djokovic was addressing the supporters present on the court, the smiling child was Djokovic’s son. After seeing his son smiling on the court to cheer him up, Djokovic couldn’t hold back. Pointing to his smiling son, he said, ‘It is a matter of happiness that my son is here and is still smiling.’
When Djokovic said this, his son and supporters were clapping. But Djokovic could not say more. His throat was blocked. He bowed his head and covered his eyes with his left hand. The applause in the court increased even more. Djokovic took care and added, ‘I’m sorry, I love you, thank you for supporting me.’
After losing 1-6, 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 to 20-year-old Carlos Alcarez from Spain, Novak Djokovic’s dream of winning the 24th Grand Slam was not fulfilled. The 36-year-old Djokovic is just one title away from equaling the record of 24 Grand Slam wins in tennis history. Australian Margaret Court has won 24 Grand Slam titles.
Serbian Djokovic, who won the French Open for the third time last May, surpassed Rafael Nadal, who won the most trophies.
