Djokovic finally met his match as he ran out of ideas to stop young gun Alcaraz from hurtling towards the title in the grasscourt major.
The Serbian earned a 7-6(1) 6-3 7-5 victory over fourth seed Casper Ruud in the final match of the 2023 competition.
The highly-anticipated contest between the world number one and the two-time Roland Garros champion ended after two high-octane sets.
Victory would have lifted them off the foot of the table and taken them to within a point of the safety zone and, more importantly, given the squad a massive boost of confidence.

Red-hot fourth seed Medvedev has now reached the final in five consecutive events after triumphs in Doha, Rotterdam, and Dubai before finishing runner-up at Indian Wells.
