"He had a little bit of a break, however now the preparations for the US tour are beginning,” Ivanisevic added. “Preparations begin at the end of the week, he's slowly starting with the fitness, and then the tennis. I don't know exactly, the week after, mid-next month, he will leave for Cincinnati.”

Djokovic admitted that he was crushed by the ‘better player’ in Alcaraz after shedding the Wimbledon last. “I’ve been blessed with so many incredible matches throughout my career. This is just another one in the history books for me,” he stated. 

“So I’m really, really grateful, even though, of course, I did not win today, but I lost to a better player and I have to congratulate him and move on stronger, hopefully.”
