Novak Djokovic has been showcasing an extraordinary winning streak in tie-breaks throughout 2023, securing victory in 13 consecutive tie-breaks against formidable opponents such as Jannik Sinner, Casper Ruud, Hubert Hurkacz, and Stan Wawrinka.

As Djokovic prepares to face Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final, fans anticipate an intense and closely contested match.

Despite the high stakes, the 36-year-old Serbian tennis star openly admitted feeling “more comfortable” than his rivals when it comes to tie-breaks. When questioned about his remarkable streak following his triumph over Jannik Sinner, Djokovic acknowledged his awareness of the accomplishment, stating, “Yeah, I am aware of the tiebreak streak. I think the longer the streak goes, I guess mentally the more resilient or tougher I am in these particular situations.”

Djokovic further elaborated on his confidence, sharing, “Coming into every tiebreak now, I feel I think more comfortable than my opponent just because of the record. I think that my opponents also know about that record. That mentally makes a difference.”

Reflecting on a critical moment in his recent match, Djokovic recounted, “I was down 3-1 in the tiebreak. He really gifted me the point with the double-fault, and I was back in the tiebreak. It could have been 4-1 for him. Who knows what kind of direction the tiebreak would go into.”

Djokovic’s impressive tie-break streak not only highlights his mental fortitude and ability to thrive under pressure but also places him in a commanding position heading into the Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz.
