‘He Was Very Hot: Novak Djokovic’s Witty Reaction To Presenter’s Remark On Carlos Alcaraz Goes Viral
“Novak, I know this is not the result you wanted. But you were up against such a hot and talented player in Carlos Alcaraz,” Croft started her interview by saying.
As the Wimbledon crowd burst into laughter, Croft immediately realised her slip of tongue and said: “He was on fire! Can you just share with us your thoughts on the final?”
“That’s what I was about to say, he was definitely very hot today,” Djokovic quipped. “Not the result I wanted, of course, in the first couple of sets, the level of tennis wasn’t up to par with myself. Credit to Carlos for playing some complete tennis. Back of the court, serve.

“I tried to extend the match a little bit, he was absolutely a deserved winner today. Huge congratulations to him for that. And to his team of course, the family, amazing job.
“It’s a one man show when you’re on the court but there’s a big team.
Only 21 years of age, we’ll see a lot more of you for sure.” Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) in the Wimbledon men’s final Sunday to collect his fourth Grand Slam title at age 21.
It was a rematch of last year’s championship match on the grass of the All England Club, which Alcaraz won in five sets.
