In a recent interview with GQ Sports, Novak Djokovic shared his thoughts on the potential of rising tennis stars Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner to break his records. Djokovic, who has an impressive 24 Grand Slam titles to his name, believes that both Alcaraz and Sinner have the capability to surpass his achievements if they prioritize their fitness and take care of their bodies.
Djokovic emphasized the importance of longevity and proper training, stating, “If they take care of the body, if they do things in a proper way, focus on longevity, focus on the long-term, then they can do it”. He acknowledged that while his records may seem unbreakable to some, he sees Alcaraz and Sinner as serious contenders for his legacy.
At just 21 years old, Alcaraz has already won four Grand Slam titles, including two Wimbledons, one US Open, and one French Open. Djokovic praised Alcaraz’s achievements, noting that he has done something no one has done in history at such a young age. He also highlighted Sinner’s potential, mentioning that the Italian has established himself as the world number one and has shown remarkable consistency and skill.
Djokovic’s comments come as both Alcaraz and Sinner prepare for the Australian Open 2025, where they are among the favorites to win the tournament. Djokovic himself is aiming for a record-extending 11th Australian Open title and his 25th Grand Slam crown.
As the tennis world eagerly watches the careers of Alcaraz and Sinner unfold, Djokovic’s words serve as a reminder of the importance of dedication, hard work, and taking care of one’s body to achieve long-term success in the sport.
