Novak Djokovic He reappeared on a tennis court, but not to compete. The former world number one was present in Bologna for a tribute to Nikola Pilic, who was his mentor. In this context, Nole took advantage of his stay in Italy to talk about several topics, among them, the new rivalry that monopolizes tennis between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

In dialogue with Ubitennisthe Serbian said that he did not see the complete definition of the ATP Finals but still he filled the new Big 2 with praise: “I saw the first set, and as always, it is tradition that when they play against each other the first set ends 7-6 in one way or another. But with a lot of tension and intensity, an astronomical level, the truth is that it is very good. Normally I don’t like to watch matches because I want to be there, but now I enjoy watching them because the level is very high.”

He later concluded his argument by stating: “The rivalry between them is something very positive for our sport. They are fantastic, even what Jannik has done, especially indoors, in the last two years is historic.”
