The 2024 Wimbledon final between Djokovic and Alcaraz was a big topic for Tim Henman.
Henman, who once reached the semis at Wimbledon, thought the match went just as predicted.
He described it as an ‘annihilation’ , especially the first two sets where Alcaraz dominated.
Djokovic only showed some fight in the third set but still lost 2-6, 2-6, 6-7(4).

Henman’s Brutal Take:
“In all honesty, for 6-2, 6-2, 5-4 [40-0], it was an annihilation. The tone was set in that first service game of Djokovic; it was a 14 or 15-minute game. Alcaraz got that break of serve and then he was just relentless.”
Even Djokovic admitted that Alcaraz outplayed him completely. Henman waited to see if Djokovic would respond during the match. But nothing happened.
Fans might think this is very surprising since Djokovic rarely loses like this.
“We’re not used to seeing Djokovic lose this way,” Henman said. Even when Djokovic tried to rally in the third set, he made too many errors because Alcaraz didn’t give him any chances.
“He gave Djokovic nothing to get his teeth stuck into. We were just waiting for the reaction; we were waiting for Djokovic to respond and that really only happened late in the third set when, in all honesty, it was just a little bit too late. Djokovic somehow hung on in that third set and got it to a tie-break, but it was just about one man.”
