Carlos Alcaraz sends a message to Novak Djokovic

Carlos Alcaraz celebrates his return to the top of the world rankings

Carlos Alcaraz commented this way on his impressive victory in Indian Wells against Daniil Medvedev: “Honestly, I did not expect this. I expected a tougher match. But we can say that I played perfectly. I have said before that against Daniil you have to play your best and you have to manage the tactical aspect to the maximum. Against him it is always a tactical match and today I was perfect.”

The Spaniard, who is back as world number one, sent a message to Novak Djokovic, who has been excluded from U.S. tournaments for not being inoculated: “Novak is one of the best players in the world. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I really want to play against Novak again. We miss him on the tour and hope to have him back very soon. It will be incredible to play against him again.”
