Andy Murray is in disagreement with Novak Djokovic’s coach, Goran Ivanisevic, over whether Carlos Alcaraz’s Wimbledon win symbolises the start of a new era in men’s tennis. In prevailing at SW19, the prodigious Spaniard inflicted Djokovic’s first defeat on Centre Court for over a decade.
Very few have gone to war with Djokovic at the All England Club and come out victorious. This year, the Serb was gunning for a record-equalling eighth men’s title, and he looked nigh on invincible en route to the final.
Once there, world No 1 Alcaraz emerged triumphant in an epic five-set battle to notch the second Grand Slam win of his career. Even so, Ivanisevic refused to entertain talk that it meant the start of a brand new era.
“Those stories are already a bit stupid,” he told Sportske Novosti. “The change of generation has been going on for six or seven years.
“If we look at [Daniil] Medvedev, [Andrey] Rublev, [Karen] Khachanov, [Denis] Shapovalov, Felix [Auger-Aliassime], [Jannik] Sinner, Alcaraz, [Holger] Rune… Alcaraz has been here for two years, but, let’s say, Medvedev has been here for five or six years, he is 27 years old. They are not from yesterday.”
