Djokovic, at the age of 38, is running out of time to emulate Roger Federer by winning eight Wimbledon titles.
He has been stuck on seven ever since 2022, having lost the last two finals to Alcaraz.
The 24-time major winner has, however, indicated that he plans to return to Wimbledon next year.
"Hopefully it's not my last match on Centre Court," said Djokovic. "I'm not planning to finish my Wimbledon career today.

Fritz, meanwhile, was left frustrated - admitting he paid the price for a bad start to the first set, while also praising Alcaraz for his serving.
The American stated: “The first set I came out and I just played a bad first game and put myself down a break instantly.
"Unfortunately, that's what I've done the past two times I played Carlos, came out and instantly put myself down a break. That's never good.

“Like I said, I've watched Carlos plenty. For me, I feel like that's the best I've seen him serve.
"I'm not going to get a look to break him back. First set, done. Second set, did exactly what I wanted to do. Fourth set, did exactly what I wanted to do... I just need to avoid playing the times where the level dips a bit and then he can grab a break and just get ahead of me.”
He added: “I think, to be fair, on grass, even though he's such an incredible grass court player, probably fast is my best opportunity with Carlos.
“Once the court gets slow to where I can't hurt him, it's going to be really tough because, regardless of how slow the court is, I think he's always going to be able to hurt me.”
