Novak Djokovic damages Wimbledon net post with racket smash during final against Carlos Alcaraz Despite being almost bageled in the opening set, Alcaraz bounced back in supreme fashion, putting behind that 1-6 loss in the opener and that French Open defeat to the Serb to end Djokovic's streak of 15-wins in tie-breakers at Majors. Djokovic eyes Alcaraz revenge The Spaniard now leads the head-to-head tie by 2-1 against Djokovic having won their maiden encounter in 2022 Madrid Open semis.
