Novak Djokovic Acknowledges Aging Limits After Wimbledon Semi-Final Loss

News summary

Novak Djokovic, the 38-year-old seven-time Wimbledon champion and 24-time Grand Slam winner, was defeated in straight sets by world number one Jannik Sinner in the 2025 Wimbledon semi-finals, marking the first time since 2017 that he failed to reach the final. Djokovic candidly acknowledged that age and physical wear have taken a toll on his performance, despite his efforts to maintain fitness, highlighting the challenges of playing best-of-five matches against younger, fitter opponents like Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. He admitted to struggling physically throughout the tournament, especially after a leg injury sustained in the quarter-finals, but praised Sinner's strong performance. Djokovic expressed emotional acceptance of his declining physical condition, noting that although he can still play good tennis when fresh, sustaining that level through long matches has become difficult. Despite the defeat, Djokovic remains hopeful about returning to Wimbledon next year and continuing to compete at a high level. Observers, including John McEnroe, noted that Sinner's game resembles a younger Djokovic, but the age difference and physical limitations ultimately determined the outcome.
