Before the first match at the tournament in Rome, Novak Djokovic spoke again about the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
Nole had all the most beautiful words for the young man…
- “I think I played very well in Madrid, although I lost in the semifinals. I felt one hundred percent physically after the three-and-a-half-hour fight with Alcaraz. I recovered well the next day, I could play again. That is positive and encouraging for Rome and, of course, for Roland Garros. ” – Novak began and added:
- “I think I’m going in the right direction. I know I can always do better and I know I am very self-critical in the field. At the same time, I think I play at a high level. I hope that during this week I can maintain that level and upgrade it. I hope to go far here to be ready for Paris. “
- “He is special. He has already broken some records as a teenager, winning two Masters this year and two more ATP 500 Series tournaments. He is currently the best player in the world, without a doubt. ” – adds Djokovic.
- “The way he coped with the pressure in our match two days ago was impressive. He deserved the trophy. He doesn’t play here in Rome, he wanted to take some time off. He had a few intense months and I think that was a good decision. As for Roland Garros, he is definitely one of the main favorites. ” – concluded Novak Djokovic.
