Centre Court, but in the end there could only be one winner and that honour went to Novak Djokovic.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian and Serbian battled it out for five hours and 15 minutes in a late-night humdinger with the match finishing just minutes before the 11pm curfew at SW19 with Djokovic the one triumphanting holding his arms aloft.<\/p>\n<p>It was a tough break for the third seed as he came up short in an attempt to reach his first semi-final at the grass-court Grand Slam with Djokovic advancing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/novak-djokovic-emotional-declaration-lionel-messi-wimbledon-quarter-final\">a 7-6 (10-8), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (10-4) win<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A heartbroken <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/felix-auger-aliassime\">Auger-Aliassime<\/a> faced the media after the match and revealed he had self-belief right up until the end that he could defeat the 24-time Grand Slam winner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:<\/strong> Felix, tough defeat for you. Give us your thoughts on the match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME:<\/strong> \u201cYeah. Sorry, I\u2019m a bit dizzy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:<\/strong> Take your time.<\/p>\n<h2>Wimbledon News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/novak-djokovic-joao-fonseca-among-wimbledon-stars-hit-hefty-fines\">Novak Djokovic and Joao Fonseca among Wimbledon stars to be hit with hefty fines<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/not-happy-novak-djokovic-issues-furious-complaint-wimbledon-quarter-final\">\u2018I am not happy\u2019 \u2013 Novak Djokovic issues furious complaint during Wimbledon quarter-final<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME:<\/strong> \u201cLook, I mean, to make it brief, amazing fight, amazing battle with a legend of our sport. It is what it is. Obviously it\u2019s tough for me. Quarters in Paris. Here. I had other chances in my career where tight matches like this didn\u2019t go my way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll have to see what I can do so it goes my way the next time. For now, I can be proud of the fight and then I move on, move on to what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:<\/strong> Do you feel at certain points, tight moments, the result of this match was on your racquet?<\/p>\n<p><strong>FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME:<\/strong> \u201cI had a lot of belief. I don\u2019t think belief was a problem. I think after one set all, it was just this one game in the third set, I lost focus. After more than two-and-a-half hours of being very focused with him, I lost a little bit my focus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFourth set I was fortunate to come back. He also had lost focus, a dip, to give me a chance to come back in the fourth set. Then I thought I played good, good tiebreak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut yeah, I think in the end he proves again that he\u2019s good when he needs to. He\u2019s solid, more solid than I was, when he needs to. Yeah, it\u2019s game styles. I think his game style is a little bit more consistent and solid in the tight moments than mine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut again, he\u2019s so impressive with so many things he does. The quality of his serve is probably one of the best in the draw. The return obviously we know. Every second-serve return he makes you play, hits the deep target. We know, because we\u2019ve seen him so much, but it\u2019s so impressive that he does it time and time again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:<\/strong> That was the longest match of your career. How different does a tiebreak feel at the end of such a long match? Where was your head at during that final stretch?<\/p>\n<p><strong>FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME:<\/strong> \u201cTo be honest, I had a lot of belief until the end. I was trying to serve well, trying to not go for too much, trying to play the smartest shot at every moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously sometimes one of the players is going to have to risk at some point a little bit more at certain points. But it didn\u2019t pay off for me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t remember, I had Love-30 on one return game. I pulled a backhand down the line. If I make this one, better target, maybe Love-40. That was a little bit of momentum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo I regret maybe not just staying in the point? Maybe. But those are choices you make on the court and you have to live with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:<\/strong> You said parts of your game don\u2019t feel as solid as his in the big moments. What doesn\u2019t feel solid for you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME:<\/strong> \u201cI think no, it\u2019s just game styles. I\u2019ve watched plenty of Novak over the years. I\u2019ve analyzed a lot of his matches, whether it\u2019s here, other Grand Slams. Even at times when he wasn\u2019t playing his best, beating Roger here 2019. You just feel like in tiebreaks or tight moments, either he serves well or he makes you play the extra shot. Just keeps you in a position where you can\u2019t attack him, but he neutralises you until he waits for a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo yeah, his game style, it\u2019s not my natural game style. I\u2019m more trying to play forward. But I\u2019ll have to learn how to manage that, when to go forward, when to be a bit more solid in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Dizzy\u2019 Felix Auger-Aliassime\u2019s full press conference after Novak Djokovic loss at Wimbledon Shahida Jacobs 08 Jul 2026 8:15 AM Felix Auger-Aliassime and Novak Djokovic after their match Felix Auger-Aliassime played a big role in an all-time classic Wimbledon quarter-final on Centre Court, but in the end there could only be one winner and that honour [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2032347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2032347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2032347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2032347\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2032347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2032347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2032347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
