Alcaraz: “If I think about everything Djokovic has won, I won’t be able to play”

Date:

The Spanish Carlos Alcaraz (3) commented at the press conference after his victory in the round of 16 of the Australian Open that if he thought about everything the Serbian had won Novak Djokovic (7), who could be their opponent in the quarterfinals, could not play in the match.

“I try not to think about everything he has achieved, if I think about everything he has done I can’t play. 24 great, more weeks at number one. I think I can beat him, know my weapons. “We will play and believe,” explained the Murcian, who will arrive fresh for this Tuesday’s event, after his rival, the British Jack Draper (15), retired after the end of the second set due to hip problems.

“In the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam is the best in the world. If it’s not Djokovic, it could be another one at the top of the ranking. Playing against Novak won’t change anything, something will change if it’s a final. “I’m going to prepare the match in the same way I did before,” commented Alcaraz, who will face in the next round the winner of the clash between Djokovic (7) and the Czech Jiri Lehecka (24), recent champion of the Brisbane tournament.

“It’s obvious that I’m one step closer. What I’ve learned from other Grand Slams is to take it day by day, otherwise they can be very long. For now only, respect all rounds and players. “That helps you see your best level,” he revealed after reaching the quarterfinals for the second consecutive year.

The Murcian was asked about the presence of his younger brother Jaime at the famous French ‘junior’ tennis tournament, Le Petit Asand admitted that he saw the positive result after passing the penultimate round of the qualifying phase.

“Happy to see my little brother playing the same tournaments as me, I just saw the results but I haven’t talked to him yet. Yes, I talked to my mother because she was with him. I try to support him, even though he is on the other side of the world. “I’m trying to take all the pressure people can put on him,” he said.
