Djokovic Praises Sinner, Alcaraz: 'Dominant Forces' Deserve Limelight

  • Novak Djokovic, pursuing his 25th Grand Slam, acknowledged the rise of young stars Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
  • Djokovic stated that Alcaraz and Sinner have split the last eight Majors and are the current dominant forces in men's tennis.
  • He humorously remarked that the duo has been 'praised enough' but 'absolutely deserve to be where they are'.
  • Djokovic aims for a record-extending 11th Australian Open title, starting his campaign against Pedro Martinez at Rod Laver Arena.
  • He withdrew from a warm-up tournament to conserve energy and manage pain, adopting a new perspective to lift pressure for the AO.
