Wimbledon 2023: Novak Djokovic lavishes utmost praise for Carlos Alcaraz

The world is in awe of Carlos Alcaraz after his maiden Wimbledon title but the utmost praise probably came from his rival Novak Djokovic.

When asked about comparing Alcaraz to some player he might have played against in the past, the Wimbledon 2023 runners-up said, 'I think people have been talking in the past 12 months or so about his game consisting of certain elements from Roger (Federer), Rafa (Nadal), and myself. I would agree with that. I think he's got basically the best of all three worlds. He's got this mental resilience and real maturity for someone who is 20 years old. It's quite impressive.'

'He's got this Spanish bull mentality of competitiveness and fighting spirit and incredible defence that we've seen with Rafa over the years. And I think he's got some nice sliding backhands that he's got some similarities with my backhands. Yeah, two-handed backhands, defence, being able to adapt. I think that has been my personal strength for many years. He has it, too.'

'I haven't played a player like him ever, to be honest. Roger and Rafa have their own obviously strengths and weaknesses. Carlos is a very complete player. Amazing adapting capabilities that I think are a key for longevity and for a successful career on all surfaces,' Djokovic added.
