Rome, Novak Djokovic puts pressure on Carlos Alcaraz

Rome, Novak Djokovic is confident about Carlos Alcaraz: “After this tournament he will deservedly be number one in the world.”

On the eve of his debut at the Internazionali d’Italia, Novak Djokovic spoke at a press conference about his feelings ahead of the Foro Italico tournament. In addition, the Serb spoke bluntly about rival Carlos Alcaraz.

“I think Carlos is now the man to beat on clay, he is playing top level tennis and in the last period he has been getting incredible results. I am sure that after this tournament he will deservedly return to number one in the world,” Nole said about his Spanish rival

“If he maintains this level and this confidence I am convinced that he can be one of the main candidates to win at Roland Garros as well. However, it will have to be seen if Rafael Nadal can recover from his injury and participate in the tournament. His presence could be a game changer,” Djokovic added about the possible return of the 22-time Slam champion.
