“Novak Djokovic is not at the levels of Carlos Alcaraz & Jannik Sinner” – Feliciano Lopez gives verdict on Serb’s Wimbledon chances

Former ATP star Feliciano Lopez shared a candid assessment of Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon prospects, stating, “He’s not at the levels of Carlos [Alcaraz] and Jannik Sinner, especially in the last 18 months,” in an interview with Sky Sports, per Tennis365. Lopez, a former world No. 12, noted that the 38-year-old Serb, ranked No. 6, hasn’t matched the dominance of Alcaraz and Sinner, who’ve split the last six Grand Slams, including Alcaraz’s 2025 French Open win over Sinner, per ATP Tour. Djokovic, with 24 majors, last won at the 2023 US Open and lost to Alcaraz in the 2023 and 2024 Wimbledon finals, per BBC Sport.

However, Lopez highlighted grass as Djokovic’s best chance to compete, saying, “The grass is very different… I see the grass as the only place for him to get to this level that they play,” citing his strong 2025 French Open semifinal against Sinner (6-4, 7-5, 7-6[3] loss), per Yardbarker. Djokovic’s 98 Wimbledon wins, second only to Roger Federer’s 105, and seven titles bolster his credentials, per Wimbledon. X posts, like @Tennis_Updates5, reflect sentiment that Alcaraz and Sinner lead the odds, per. Lopez cautioned against counting out Djokovic, noting, “With Novak, you have to be aware of what you say,” per Tennis365.
