The 38-year-old put a great deal of effort into the tournament as he yearns to secure the record-setting 25th Grand Slam title. He has come close on multiple occasions but has been knocked out by his opponent in the semifinal stage.
Djokovic remains confident ahead of the much-awaited US Open clash and has boldly claimed that he can beat Carlos Alcaraz and the top-ranked Jannik Sinner.
“When I’m in shape and capable of playing my best tennis, I still believe I can beat both Alcaraz and Sinner.
“The most dangerous part is that I need to make a great effort, work very hard, and push my body to its limits to have the chance to face them,” Novak Djokovic said, as quoted by Tennis365.
However, Djokovic mentioned it would be a slightly unfair battle, considering that Alcaraz is coming into the semifinal in top gear while he “already have half an empty tank.”
