Not achieving a feat of the magnitude Alcaraz was seeking is not a failure. Few matches will yield as valuable lessons as his latest defeat against Djokovic.
Carlos Alcaraz
On the court, right after the victory, Novak Djokovic said he would have retired if he had lost on the second serve. During the press conference, Carlos Alcaraz shared his perspective, which was very different from the Serbian's: "When I won the first set, I tried not to let him breathe and to go for it, to see if he would lower his level or give me more tranquility. There have been several moments where I did not take advantage of my opportunities properly. Small moments in the match that make the difference. I needed to attack more. Someone thinking about retirement would not have played the way he did afterward. Everyone saw he was struggling to move, and in the third and fourth set, I didn't see any of that. I believe that even if he had lost the second set, I would have had to work hard to beat him. I won't go into details, but I don't think he would have retired."

Just a few minutes after the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic ended, in which the Serbian emerged victorious, this moment occurred between the Murcian and the Brit. Andy Murray approached Alcaraz in the gym area of the 2025 Australian Open to share a warm and respectful greeting as the coach of the Serbian. Despite the defeat, Carlitos remained smiling throughout.

The Spanish player faces the press conference admitting what mistake led him to lose the match against Novak.
Djokovic displayed an impressive version of play to dismantle an Alcaraz who gave his all to survive in the Australian Open 2025
Novak Djokovic started with physical issues in the match but ended up finding a great level in all areas to defeat Carlos Alcaraz in four sets, earning a spot in the semifinals of the Australian Open 2025: "The first thing I want to say is that he has all my respect and admiration for all he represents and what he has achieved in his still short career. He has four Grand Slams, and I'm sure we will continue to see him, maybe not as much as I would like, that's for sure," he said jokingly. "I would love for today's match to be the final. I don't know if Sascha is still awake, if he is watching us, but it is one of the most epic matches I have ever played in my life. I don't want to talk much about my injury, but the medication started to work. I didn't know if I would continue in case of losing the second set. I saw that Carlos started to doubt from the baseline, and I started to feel better."
