From the height of his 36 springs, Novak Djokovic is still at the top of world tennis. Now alone at the top of the number of Grand Slams won with 23 major tournaments in his showcase, the Serb can now escape, far ahead of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Winner in Australia last January then at Roland Garros 5 weeks ago, Nolé is also in the race to achieve a feat, winning the 4 Grand Slam tournaments in the same year, an opportunity he had missed in 2021 following his defeat at Flushing Meadows against D.Medvedev in the final. But now with an almost unique focus on the Grand Slam tournaments, Novak Djokovic is master of his physique and his mind, and arrives at every expense during major events. Arrived at Wimbledon without having played a single preparation match, the Serb was able to enjoy a constant rise in power in this 2023 edition with an appropriate table. Winner of P.Cachin for his entry into the running, Nolé then had to get rid of a player in form, J.Thompson, then an always formidable opponent, S.Wawrinka. The first test came in the 1/8th finals with a showdown against H.Hurkacz, dominated in 4 sets after a fight on each point. A way to mentally and physically enter the tournament. Then A.Rublev and J.Sinner could not thwart the tennis of Novak Djokovic, still as solid in the head and in the decisive moments, enough to afford a 9th final in London, this time against Carlos Alcaraz. The world number 1 was expected here, he who continues to progress, but who was still with a question mark on the lawn. Doubts very quickly lifted already by his victory at Queen’s in preparation, but also thanks to a faultless course. Winner of the tricolors J.Chardy and A.Muller to start, the Spaniard then had to go up a notch against N.Jarry then M.Berrettini. His quarter-final against H.Rune was probably the match that made the biggest impression, with a clear domination in the game, despite a very good player in front. Finally, an easy victory in the semi-final against D.Medvedev gave the Iberian player the first opportunity to play his first final at Wimbledon, at only 20 years old. His lawn tennis was impressive, with an amazing quality of adaptation. Capable of imposing his game on his opponents, Carlos Alcaraz seemed to be the only one who could prevent the Serb from winning a 5th consecutive title at Wimbledon, and the results came to confirm it.
