It is another result that marks a changing of the guard in men’s tennis.

Between them, 21-year-old Alcaraz and Sinner, 22, have won all three of this year’s Grand Slam tournaments.

“Just overall the way I felt on the court today against him, I was inferior on the court,” Djokovic said in his news conference.

“That’s it. He was a better player. He played every single shot better than I did.”
