Alcaraz Djokovic Sinner US Open

In the final Grand Slam of the season, Novak Djokovic was eliminated in the semifinals, as was already the case at the Australian Open, Roland-Garros, and Wimbledon.

The man with 24 Majors, after having lost to Jannik Sinner twice, experienced the same scenario this Friday in New York against Carlos Alcaraz. A reality he addressed during his press conference:

"Unfortunately, I had no energy left after the second set. I think I had enough energy to compete with him for two sets, but after that, I was exhausted. It will be very difficult for me in the future to beat Sinner and Alcaraz in best-of-five-set matches. I lost to them in three of the four Grand Slams. They are simply too good.

That said, I will continue to fight to play in finals and try to win another trophy. I still want to play the Grand Slams next year. We'll see if that happens or not. But I think I have better chances in best-of-three-set, week-long tournaments, like the Masters. That could be more favorable for me in matches against them.
