On July 14, 2024, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in the final at the All England Club to win his second Wimbledon title. Now, a year later, tennis could cross their paths again… and again in the final. But in the meantime, both are continuing on their way. And they are building it in London with victories.
After the Murcian’s last match against Struff, he was asked in a press conference about who of the players he has met has the greatest insight, who is the most intelligent when it comes to tennis
And he was clear who to choose: “Right now I think Novak Djokovic is the smartest player on the court. The player with the most tennis knowledge, I think it’s Novak without a doubt. With all his experience on a tennis court and having seen so many matches throughout his career, I think he is the one who knows the most about this sport”.

“Yes, I have talked to Novak many times. I have watched his matches. I have trained with him. Sometimes I have also watched his training sessions. But we have never talked about tennis, about matches, about anything. I prefer to talk to him about other things, about life, not about tennis, to be honest,” Alcaraz said

“To be honest, I don’t know how to answer that question. I just try to analyze some aspects of his game, his way of training, his way of playing sometimes in matches. But I just watch him from the outside, without talking to him or asking him questions about tennis. It’s just about watching his matches because I love watching him play. I love the times I trained with him, just to see how he moves, how he plays, how he trains. I love that. But other than that, I don’t talk to him much about tennis.”
