'It's not a matter of life and death anymore': Mouratoglou explains why Djokovic has not won the 25th Grand Slam
Renowned Tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou has shared his opinion on why Novak Djokovic is not winning Grand Slam titles anymore. read more Patrick Mouratoglou, who won 10 Grand Slams as a coach with Serena Williams, has questioned Novak Djokovic's hunger and desire, as the former world No.1 has failed to reach the final in the last three Grand Slams. Djokovic's last Grand Slam final came in 2024 at Wimbledon, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz. At the US Open 2024, Djokovic lost in the third round, before exiting the Australian Open 2025 at the semi-final stage due to an injury. At the French Open 2025, he lost to Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals after beating Alexander Zverev in the Roland Garros quarter-finals. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Renowned coach dissects why Djokovic is not winning Grand Slams While a large section of fans and experts feel Djokovic remains competitive as ever at the age of 38, Mouratoglou feels the 24-time Grand Slam winner is facing the issue of a lack of motivation more than a drop in the level of his tennis. 'His tennis there and I can totally see him winning that match against Jannik,' Mouratoglou said. 'Of course it would be a very tight match, but he has so many in the past and most of the time, he found a solution to win. 'Level wise, he is there. Physically, he is there, but winning those matches is not about the tennis. It is more about the mental side of it. 'I did feel he accepted the dominance of Sinner on him, which is not Novak. I didn't see the Novak I know and I still think his motivation is not high enough.' Mouratoglou clarified that he didn't mean to say Djokovic had no motivation, but he's not sure whether the drive to prove himself as the best is the same as it was when he played against now-retired Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. 'It is there [motivation], but I don't know exactly where it is. Is it that I still want to show the world that I'm the best? That was a little bit of his motivation before because everyone was a fan of Roger [Federer] and Rafa [Nadal] and he wanted to prove he was the best. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It is a thin line to do everything to play and great match to I'm not going to lose this f***ing match. And this was always Novak. 'I think that was something that really drove him. He lost his drive for the reason that he's the greatest now.' Mouratoglou also explained why he felt Djoklovc lacked the motivation to beat Sinner. 'Why did I feel that? Because of his body language in the match was different. 'He was smiling at his team. He was kind of enjoying the moment. This is not Novak. He is a fighting beast. In his career, he was closer to being angry and smashing rackets than smiling and being happy to be here. 'Now he is happy to be here in the semi-finals of Grand Slam, competing with those guys and it's not a matter of life and death anymore. 'In the final of the Olympic Games with Novak against [Carlos] Alcaraz on the same exact court ten months ago. Look at the two videos, he was a bull who would do anything to win. It was a question of life and death. This was the Olympic Games. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I understand fully when you are fighting the fight of your life to show the world and yourself that you are the best in history, you cannot have the same motivation as he has now to win a Grand Slam. His purpose was the fight against the two others to prove who was the greatest of all-time. Djokovic, however, will soon have a chance to prove his critics wrong as he aims to win his 25th Grand Slam at Wimbledon, which starts on 30 June.

Carlos Alcaraz ‘still can't believe' how he won French Open as hunt for 3rd consecutive Wimbledon title begins
Carlos Alcaraz has said that his dramatic French Open 2025 victory is yet to fully sink in. Alcaraz is setting himself up for the grass court swing this season but he admitted that he still can't believe that he saved three championship points against Carlos Sinner At Roland Garros and went on to win in a final that smashed the record for the longest men's single title clash of all time at the clay court Grand Slam. '(There are) a lot of videos from that match, from that moment, match point down and I still watch it sometimes, and I still can't believe that I come back from that moment,' Alcaraz told reporters on Sunday. 'So sometimes it's difficult to realise that I'm in this position, that I won the French Open, watching the videos from 40-love, in that moment. So I'm still watching those videos.' Alcaraz had been on the rise in the early phases of the match before unforced errors and a seemingly unflappable Sinner's consistency seemed to put him well behind. However, he had brief good spells in this period as well and finally, seemed to turn it all around when he saved three championship points by breaking Sinner and eventually forcing the match into a fifth set. That turned out to be a see-saw affair and Alcaraz came out on top 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(10-2). This was Alcaraz's second consecutive victory in Paris and his fifth Grand Slam title overall. The 22-year-old took a short break after the tournament in Ibiza and now gets back to it at Queen's Club, where he faces countryman Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in his opener on Tuesday. Alcaraz has won the last two editions of Wimbledon and is now gunning for a third consecutive title at the grass court Grand Slam. The tournament is set to be played from June 30 to July 13.

Credit: Photo by Qian Jun/) Watch French Open 2025 live streams as top seed Jannik Sinner takes on Novak Djokovic today for a place in the Roland Garros final. Advertisement Sinner is back from his three-month ban for inadvertently taking a prohibited substance with a bang. The 23-year-old top seed is yet to drop a set in Paris and is on a 19-match grand slam winning run after picking up the US and Australian Open titles. The Italian beat in-form Alexander Bublik for the loss of just six games in the last eight and has won the last three matches against his semi-final opponent. The French Open has witnessed a rejuvenation in Djokovic's fortunes. The 38-year-old has struggled in 2025 and lost three matches in a row during the clay court season to dispense with former foe Andy Murray as coach, but the Serbian has improved markedly at Roland-Garros. His four-set defeat of Alexander Zverev proved as much and he is now the oldest French Open semi-finalist since Pancho Gonzales in 1968, while also extending his record to 51 grand slam semi-finals. He knocked Carlos Alcaraz out of the Australian Open earlier this year, but can he repeat the Zverev performance with another display to roll back the years? Sinner is relentless and will test every inch of what the arch-winner Djokovic has left. The feeling is Djokovic mixing up speeds and spins is his route to victory. The winner will face Alcaraz, who beat Lorenzo Musetti, in the final. Tune in to find out who it'll be.

Alcaraz and Sinner played for 5 hour 29 minutes and the title was decided in the tie-breaker of the last set making it the longest final of French Open in the open era. Only the best! #RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 7, 2025 As both the players celebrated their respective wins, a particular moment stood out where both of them celebrated with the ball kids after getting the trophy.
