Описание: What Djokovic Whispered to Alcaraz After the Australian Open Final

Carlos Alcaraz made history by becoming the youngest man ever to complete a career Grand Slam after claiming the Australian Open title. Following his triumph, Alcaraz shared a heartfelt moment with Novak Djokovic at Rod Laver Arena. The world No. 1 recovered from a slow start to defeat the 10-time Australian Open champion 2-6, 6-2, 6-4, 7-5, collapsing to the court in disbelief after sealing victory. The defeat was especially painful for Djokovic, who narrowly missed the chance to secure a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam crown. Instead, it was Alcaraz who etched his name into tennis history. Djokovic, seeded fourth, displayed great sportsmanship by crossing the net to embrace the young Spaniard after the final point. The two exchanged words as they returned to their chairs, with Alcaraz later revealing the moment symbolised mutual respect. “He told me, ‘Congratulations, you deserve it,’ and I replied that it’s always a pleasure,” Alcaraz said. “Sharing the court with him—especially in a Grand Slam final—is an honour.” He added that competing against Djokovic is a privilege regardless of the outcome. “Feeling his presence across the net is like a masterclass. I have enormous respect for him as an athlete and as a person. That embrace was simply about respect.” During his on-court speech, Alcaraz praised Djokovic’s enduring influence on the sport and repeated those sentiments in his post-match press conference, predicting further success for the Serbian star this season.
