<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<div class=\"ciam-article-t365\"><!-- Article Start --><\/p>\n<p>Novak Djokovic has admitted he could do nothing to halt Jannik Sinner\u2019s march to another Wimbledon final, as he described his 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 defeat as a \u2018a good old blowout\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner secured a comprehensive victory against the seven-time Wimbledon champion, with the result never in doubt as the Italian did not allow his intensity to drop first the first point to the last.<\/p>\n<p>You can always tell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">Djokovic<\/a> is eager to get his media duties out of the way quickly when he makes a quick appearance in the media theatre and just a few minutes after the last ball way struck, he was facing the media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWas a good old blowout (smiling). Nothing much I could do,\u201d said Djokovic, who was forthright, pointed and considered in his comments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just half a step late in any shot. It\u2019s very simple as that. He was just a level or more better than I was.<\/p>\n<h2>More Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/andre-agassi-call-for-major-change-in-tennis-during-novak-djokovic-vs-jannik-sinner-at-wimbledon\">Andre Agassi bemused by what Novak Djokovic did against Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/novak-djokovic\">John McEnroe suggests Wimbledon made a mistake for Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic\u2019s semi final<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just not sharp enough, not reactive enough, not balanced enough to play him. That\u2019s it. There\u2019s not much I could do on the court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was okay, feeling physically fine. Maybe not the freshest, obviously, like at the beginning of the tournament, but I was physically all right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was a much better player on the court and was the dominant force. You just have to hand it to him and say, Congrats, well done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic was in no mood for what he considered to be ridiculous questions and when it was put to him that he looked more competitive in 2026 than was last year, he offered up an abrupt response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are wrong,\u201d he snapped back. \u201cI just said you\u2019re wrong. I don\u2019t agree with your opinion. I\u2019m always competitive. Always give my best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder the circumstances, sometimes it looks from outside more, sometimes less. Only I know what I go through internally and what it takes to be able to still play at this level. Of course, I\u2019m disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, I wanted to win Wimbledon. That\u2019s the reason why I\u2019m still pushing myself so hard. But I just lost to a better player. I have to accept it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously tough one. Once you get out of the court, it\u2019s tough one to kind of accept. But it is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not upset with myself. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve done too much wrong. I was just a level or two worse than he is. I mean, he was playing so solid from all ends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, serve, very difficult to read his serve, incredible weapon has become last couple years since he changed his technique. Of course, he\u2019s as solid as anyone from back of the court. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added his belief has been boosted after his Wimbledon run, especially after his epic win against No 3 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m proud of what I achieved three nights ago. Felix is No 3 or 4 in the world. Proven to myself and others that I can still play at the highest level, and I have. I reached the last four of Wimbledon. Losing in straight sets against the best player in the world, okay. It is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the reality you have to accept. But the tournament was positive in terms of the attitude on the court, the fighting spirit, the dedication. I mean, it\u2019s still there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/andy-murray-confession-roger-federer-rafael-nadal-novak-djokovic\">Andy Murray\u2019s candid confession as he is asked about Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic snaps back at a reporter after Jannik Sinner hammering at Wimbledon Kevin Palmer 10 Jul 2026 8:22 PM Novak Djokovic looks bemused at Wimbledon during his match with Felix Auger-Aliassime Novak Djokovic has admitted he could do nothing to halt Jannik Sinner\u2019s march to another Wimbledon final, as he described his 6-4, 6-4, [&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-2037428","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\/2037428","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=2037428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2037428\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2037428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2037428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2037428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
