'Spanish bull' Alcaraz is me, Federer, Nadal rolled into one: Djokovic
The Hindu
Djokovic hails Alcaraz as "best of all three worlds", combining his, Federer's and Nadal's talents. Alcaraz beat Djokovic 1-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 in Wimbledon final.
Novak Djokovic believes Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz possesses the "best of all three worlds", cloning the talents of himself, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
World number one Alcaraz defeated Djokovic 1-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 in the Wimbledon final on Sunday after four hours and 42 minutes of breathless action on Centre Court.
The result shattered 36-year-old Djokovic's bid to claim a record-equalling eighth title at the All England Club and 24th Grand Slam crown.
Asked what makes the 20-year-old Alcaraz such a threat, the Serb star explained that he has duplicated his weapons, as well as Federer and Nadal -- the storied 'big three' of tennis who between them have 65 Grand Slam titles.
"I think he's got basically best of all three worlds," said Djokovic.
"People have been talking in the past 12 months or so about his game consisting of certain elements from Roger, Rafa, and myself. I would agree with that."
Hailing Alcaraz for his "Spanish bull mentality of competitiveness", Djokovic sees similarities in the renowned fighting spirit and "incredible defence" of Nadal.
