'He Is Talking About Respect But...': Novak Djokovic Playfully Teases Carlos Alcaraz Ahead Of Wimbledon 2025; Video
Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz shared a fun moment during a practice session at Wimbledon. While training together, Djokovic joked that even though Alcaraz says he respects him, "the last two years he didn’t respect me." He was teasing Alcaraz because the young Spaniard beat him in the Wimbledon finals in both 2023 and 2024.
"He (Carlos) is talking about respect, but the last two years he didn't give me respect on this court," said Djokovic. Even though it was a joke, it showed how much respect the two players have for each other. They laughed, practiced hard, and showed great sportsmanship.
Their rivalry has become one of the most exciting in tennis. Alcaraz won two thrilling Wimbledon finals against Djokovic and is now looking to defend his title again in 2025. Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, is determined to get back on top.
Both are preparing seriously, but they also know how to keep things light. Fans are now hoping they will meet in the final once again this year. If they do, it could be another classic match between two tennis greats.
'The Only Thing That Gives Me...': Novak Djokovic Reveals True Motivation Behind Extending Career; Video
Tennis legend Novak Djokovic has revealed that winning more Grand Slam titles is no longer his biggest motivation. Instead, what truly drives him now is the chance to represent Serbia at the Olympics, especially the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
Speaking in a recent interview, Djokovic said the Olympic Games hold a special place in his heart. He shared that just being part of the Olympic experience, walking with other athletes in the Olympic Village, and playing for his country gives him the biggest joy.
Djokovic, who has already won 24 Grand Slam titles, said, "The only thing I currently have in my vision, the only thing that gives me motivation, is the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles." He explained that while he still loves competing in Grand Slams and wants to keep winning, the dream of playing in another Olympics gives him a unique kind of energy and purpose.
The 38-year-old Serbian superstar won Olympic gold in Paris in 2024, and now hopes to continue until at least the 2028 Olympics, when he will be 41 years old. Despite his age, Djokovic made it clear that as long as he stays healthy and motivated, he will keep playing the sport he loves.
