Serbia led Italy 1-0 thanks to Miomir Kecmanovic but Djokovic ended up losing to Jannik Sinner in both the singles and doubles, costing them a spot in the final. Djokovic had made it clear that helping his country win the Davis Cup was his main goal for the end of the year but, in a worrying admission, he couldn\u2019t commit to playing for the team next year and later confessed that he didn\u2019t \u201chave the strength\u201d to reflect on his season.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic\u2019s season came to a disappointing end on Saturday as Serbia were ousted in the semi-final of the Davis Cup. The world No 1 had three match points against Sinner in the second singles rubber but ended up losing. The tie went down to the doubles where Sinner and Lorenzo Sonego teamed up to defeat Djokovic and Kecmanovic.<\/p>\n<p>The 36-year-old was understandably gutted after losing back-to-back matches to send his nation out of the World Cup of tennis. Djokovic has emphasised the importance of playing for his country at this stage of his career but he sparked worry when he admitted he didn\u2019t know whether he would be back on the squad in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t know, it&#8217;s always my greatest pleasure and honour to play for my country,\u201d the world No 1 told Serbian reporters, per SportKlub. \u201cNext year is far away, the head is hot.\u201d Djokovic was still classy in defeat as he thanked the rest of the team and took on the responsibility of the defeat, having lost three match points to Sinner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive tennis news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Just in <\/strong> <strong>Sinner success credited to vomiting in bin after Davis Cup feat and Djokovic win[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/5087508.jpg?r=1701090663589\"><\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cThanks to the coaching staff and the team for cheering us on and creating an extraordinary atmosphere, everyone tried to give their best. One ball was missing, that ball was mine and I have to take responsibility. I&#8217;m a tragic person, what should I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The loss to Italy marked an end to Djokovic\u2019s triumphant 2023 season. While it ended in defeat it was still arguably one of the best years of his career. The 36-year-old won three of the four Grand Slams, becoming the first player in the Open Era to hold 24 overall titles at that level.<\/p>\n<p>He also extended some of his other records, reaching 40 Masters 1000 crowns and lifting a seventh ATP Finals trophy. And he has now surpassed 400 weeks as the world No 1, currently starting his 401st week.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Hewitt blasts Davis Cup in scathing verdict as Australia left bitter again[QUOTES] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Nadal and Alcaraz learn how they can play Olympics despite being ineligible[UPDATE] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Andy Murray&#8217;s Instagram post both confuses and concerns tennis fans[REACTION] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/5087511.jpg?r=1701090663726\"><\/p>\n<p>But Djokovic admitted that he didn\u2019t have it in him to reflect on his season after Serbia\u2019s loss on Saturday. \u201cYou&#8217;ll understand that I don&#8217;t have the strength to summarize the year and talk about goals,\u201d he confessed.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic will now head into the off-season before facing Carlos Alcaraz in an exhibition match in Saudi Arabia on December 27.
