In the opinion of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and himself, Carlos Alcaraz is “basically the best” combination of these three players.
Novak Djokovic’s statement came after Alcaraz defeated him in a historic win at Wimbledon on July 16.
But it seems Carlos Alcaraz didn’t agree with Djokovic’s statement and said during a conversation: “It’s great someone like Novak says these things about you. Someone who played against the best Nadal, against the best Federer, & says I have some things about them. It’s great for me.”
He further added: “But I don’t totally agree because I always say I’m full Carlos Alcaraz. I didn’t put styles like Rafa, Roger, or Novak. I just try to follow my own path and try to create Carlos Alcaraz. I always say that. I’m believing that I do not have the characteristics of anyone but Carlos Alcaraz”
