Le Serbe, qui cherchait à se relancer après sa défaite d'entrée à Monte Carlo, a été trahi par sa condition physique au dernier set.
Il a pu constater le travail qui lui reste à faire pour revenir au niveau. Comme lors de ses trois rencontres précédentes sur ses terre à Belgrade, face à ses compatriotes Lazlo Djere (no 50) et Miomir Kecmanovic (no 38) puis face au Russe Karen Khachanov (no 26), Djokovic a mal entamé la partie, cédant à deux reprises son service et laissant filer le premier set après un plus de trente minutes de jeu.

Le Russe Andrey Rublev, 8e, a remporté dimanche le tournoi de Belgrade. En finale, il a dominé le n°1 mondial, Novak Djokovic, 6-2, 6-7 (4), 6-0.
Rublev, lui, quitte la Serbie rasséréné : outre un troisième titre cette saison (après Marseille et Dubaï), c'est la première fois de sa carrière qu'il domine un numéro 1 mondial. Il n'avait visiblement que deux heures d'autonomie. C'est la treizième fois de sa carrière que le Serbe encaisse une « roue de bicyclette ». La dernière fois, c'était en finale de Roland-Garros, face à Rafael Nadal, le 11 octobre 2020 (6-0, 6-2, 7-5). Depuis son entrée en lice à Belgrade, le numéro 1 mondial avait ainsi battu en trois sets Laslo Djere (2-6, 7-6, 7-6), Miomir Kecmanovic (4-6, 6-3, 6-3) et Karen Khachanov (4-6, 6-1, 6-2). Lorsqu'il égalisa à un set partout, dimanche, en finale, face à Andrey Rublev, on s'est dit que l'histoire allait repasser les plats.
Une roue de vélo pour conclure: même dans ses pires cauchemars, Novak Djokovic n'avait jamais imaginé une telle issue dans "son" tournoi de Belgrade.

Devant son public, le Serbe a encaissé un 6-0 dans le dernier par le Russe Andrey Rublev, titré pour la 11e fois de sa carrière.
Malgré une pause prise par le Serbe, il n'a finalement jamais été capable de remettre son jeu en place, offrant à Rublev la troisième manche 6-0. Avec deux balles de set à 5-4, puis trois à 6-5, le Serbe a finalement dû aller chercher cette manche sur sa 7ème balle de set dans le tie break (7-6 (4)). On aurait pu s'attendre à une troisième manche extrêmement disputée entre les deux joueurs. Lors du second set, les débats se sont équilibrés. Meilleur sur son service, plus lucide, Djokovic a fait douter Rublev.
Le Serbe se dit encore passionné par le tennis bien qu'il ait accompli de grandes prouesses.
J'aime être ici et j'aime la compétition. J'aime aussi, aussi bizarre que cela puisse paraître, être dévasté par une défaite dans un match important. Par ailleurs, Djokovic révèle qu'il a encore du mal à accepter de perdre les grands matchs. Mais la discipline doit toujours être présente", a déclaré Djokovic, selon le site Internet de l'ATP.
