He has to find a way to overcome his losses in the Grand Slam final.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz was 5-0 in the majors&#8217; title match until Sunday, when his reign at Wimbledon ended with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 loss to first Janique Thinner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s always a bad feeling and you lose a game,&#8221; said second-placed Alcaraz. &#8220;When you lose in the final, that&#8217;s even worse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that he is not used to coming out at the wrong end of the score.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz won 20 consecutive matches at the All England Club, winning Novak Jjokovic in the 2023 and 2024 championships.<\/p>\n<p>He came on Sunday this season for a 24-game unbeaten career.<\/p>\n<p>And he played five consecutive matches with Sinner, including the epic five set final at the French Open five weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just want to keep the good moments and forget the bad moments,&#8221; Alcaraz said Sunday. &#8220;I just want to think about it, &#8216;Okay, I&#8217;m going to try and forget about the final in the Grand Slam and I lost it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He started off well on centre court, collecting the opening set with epic plays from 4-ALL, including a 140 mph ace holding 5-4, and a winner of a cross-court backhand that would break in the next game.<\/p>\n<p>However, as the match progressed, his ability to reach thinner serves declined. In the final three sets, Alcaraz only accumulated three breakpoints and converted zeros. Another problem was that Alkaraz&#8217;s serving was quick, but there were some unevenness.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there were 15 aces, but there were also seven double faults. His first service percentage was only 53%. He broke at least once per set, a total of five times.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline inline-photo full\">\n<figure><picture><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0713%2Fr1518700_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=570&amp;format=jpg, https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0713%2Fr1518700_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=1140&amp;cquality=40&amp;format=jpg 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 376px)\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0713%2Fr1518700_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=375, https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0713%2Fr1518700_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;cquality=40&amp;format=jpg 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 375px)\"><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>One particular issue was his second serve as the sinner came back to these late offerings.<\/p>\n<p>This left Alcaraz defensively too often.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today was complicated,&#8221; Alcaraz said.
