Novak Djokovic, following his 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-2 loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open semifinals, conceded that the 22-year-old Spanish star’s level is ‘just too good’ for him to beat in future majors. The Serbian tennis legend, who has long dominated the sport, expressed admiration for Alcaraz’s performance and the sheer quality he brings to the sport.
During a press conference after the match, Djokovic emphasized the challenge of facing Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in upcoming Grand Slam tournaments. The former world number one acknowledged that both players have reached an elite level, making it difficult to predict the outcome of future matches.
Djokovic’s remarks come at a time when he is preparing for the final, where he will face either Alcaraz or Sinner. The Serbian star’s comments reflect his respect for his opponents and the high standard of play in modern tennis.
