Novak Djokovic Warns Carlos Alcaraz & Jannik Sinner With Bold Australian Open Claim: “Can Beat Anybody”
Novak Djokovic has sent a confident message to rivals Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner ahead of the Australian Open, insisting he still believes he can beat anyone on his day. Despite the rise of the younger stars and questions around his age and fitness, the 10-time Australian Open champion remains firm in his self-belief.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, Djokovic admitted that Alcaraz and Sinner are currently playing at an extremely high level, but emphasized that confidence is essential at this stage of his career. He noted that without believing he could challenge the best, there would be no reason to continue competing at the top.
While acknowledging physical limitations compared to his younger opponents, Djokovic highlighted his experience and unmatched record in Melbourne as major advantages. The Serbian legend also played down talk of records, saying his focus is on competing well rather than chasing numbers.
With his bold claim, Djokovic has made it clear that he should not be written off, setting the stage for a potentially dramatic Australian Open showdown with the new generation.
