Out of the top 10 players by the end of the 2023 season, Carlos Alcaraz was one name that emerged as a strong competitor. While everyone was expecting a quick boost from the young Spaniard, he surely appears to have spent some time off the dominant track he was riding on. Just like every other player in the tennis world, there’s always a moment of shedding tears of disappointment along with moments of celebration.

Recently, Carlos Alcaraz was involved in a conversation about his recent past and present. As the tennis star was exposed to a question of sharing his cry moment, he marked a defeat against Novak Djokovic.

The rivalry between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz has been something that the fans enjoyed the most in the last season.

Carlos Alcaraz recently appeared for an interview in which he was asked about a moment when he shed tears over a defeat. Marking his semi-final loss against Djokovic at the ATP finals, he stated, “I’m not sure, but I would say after losing in the semifinals of the ATP Finals in Turin against Djokovic.”

Novak Djokovic was on a rapid run back in 2023. While the Serb built an invincible image, it was Alcaraz who broke it down by serving him a defeat. While the expectations of the young Spaniard as well as the fans were high enough when he faced the Serb in Turin, the defeat he faced not only marked his exit from the year-end tournament but also served him with a huge disappointment.

Djokovic in support of Alcaraz’s broken spirit

Back when Carlos Alcaraz faced this defeat against Novak Djokovic, he knew the intensity of it and therefore supported the emotions of the rising star with a positive comment on his performance.

After winning the semi-final match against Alcaraz, Djokovic said, “He had break points right away, 15/40 in the first game. That’s Carlos. He always brings out his best in these kinds of matches and starts with a lot of high-quality tennis and intensity.”

This positive admission of a youngster’s talent not only showed the considerate nature of the Serb but also showed Alcaraz that there’s always a need for improvement during the growth phase in the tennis world.
