Speaking after the match, he said: “It’s impressive, at such a young age, what he has achieved. He’s a very humble, very nice guy. A very nice family, great values, his team, it’s fantastic to have him in our sport. He’s one of the leaders of the sport today and definitely he’s going to carry this game in the future – in the next 10-15 years we’re going to see a lot of him. Tennis is in good hands.”
Alcaraz responded by reinforcing his admiration for Djokovic, saying: “It’s incredible to share the court with him in this event and in official tournaments. I am learning from him. After watching him win the big tournaments I always dreamed about being in this position and playing against him face to face. I am really happy to play with him and hopefully, I can keep going. He seems like he is 20 so we are going to share the court more than once. I want to congratulate him and thank him for playing this match with me.”
