Novak Djokovic’s results against Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz – a small part of a big problem

New York Times  

Almost two decades after the last time it happened, Novak Djokovic finds himself occupying a space in men’s tennis with which he is all too familiar. Sinner has now beaten him twice this year, three times in a row, and in four of their past five ATP meetings; in that time, Djokovic has also lost consecutive Wimbledon finals to Alcaraz. It makes Sinner only the sixth player to win three ATP-level matches in a row against Djokovic, according to Opta: Player Season Roger Federer 2006-07, 2010 Rafael Nadal 2007-09, 2012-13 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 2008 Andy Murray 2008-09 Andy Roddick 2009 Jannik Sinner 2024 Djokovic did beat Alcaraz 7-6, 7-6 to win Olympic gold in August, but in his five matches against the top two this year, he has won just three sets. Djokovic and Alcaraz have played two definitive Wimbledon finals in two years Djokovic’s semifinal loss to Sinner was his first defeat at the Australian Open — where he is a 10-time champion — in six years. After hearing the Nadal news, Djokovic said in an on-court interview in Shanghai, “I still enjoy competing, but part of me left with them, a big part of me.” Djokovic will defend 1,000 ranking points when the Paris Masters begins in late October It’s actually the third member of the group whose experience might be more pertinent.
