Everything about Novak Djokovic‘s 2023 season was top-notch except his Wimbledon defeat. As the Serb lost his final match against Carlos Alcaraz, he not only lost the title but also a 2195-day-long win streak on the Wimbledon courts. While everyone thought it was just another incident, it seems like the 2195 curse is following the legend.

Djokovic lost his Australian Open semi-final match against Jannik Sinner today. As the young Italian presented him with a disappointing defeat, he was unknowingly guided by the stars to repeat the history.

As the unexpected set of events unfolded at the Rod Laver Arena, Novak Djokovic experienced another upset that marked an end to his impressive AO win streak. The Serb stood to be undefeated at the AO grounds for a total of 2195 days since he last lost his match in 2018 against Chung Hyeon. As he faces a defeat now, an interesting narrative emerges.

Looking back to July 16, 2023, Djokovic faced a similar defeat against Carlos Alcaraz. While the Serb stood against the Alcaraz with a glossy 2195-day undefeated win streak, the Spaniard made sure that he snatched that from him, along with the Wimbledon title.

As the two events showed an amazing resemblance of 2195 days, it seems like Novak Djokovic had to experience the wrath of the stars. Now that Sinner has moved ahead into the finals, it still remains to be seen who he will be facing. However, Djokovic will have to fly back home, and while he does that, today’s match might be revisited as one of his worst Grand Slam matches played by him.
