Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Yannick Sinner, the best players in the world

Although he lost just 11 games in his last two matches in Turin, the world number one believes the ATP Finals semi-finalists are the best players on the circuit.

“One of the best seasons of my life. Phenomenal to end it with a win against Yannick who has been incredible this week. I am very proud of this performance.

Alcaraz and Sinner are probably the best players in the world, along with me and Medvedev. I had to come forward because I can’t expect these players to make a mistake. Lost in groups with Yannik.

All in all, it was a phenomenal week for me. For the last two days, my children have come to watch me play. I always wanted to play in front of them. They are old enough to understand what is happening. I am very happy to be the father of two beautiful children. I give myself strength” – Novak Djokovicafter the 2023 Tournament of Champions.

More Grand Slams, Tournament of Champions and Olympics, Novak Djokovic’s 2024 goals

At 36, Nole has no plans to stop and has already set goals for 2024. As well as wanting to win as many Grand Slams as possible, the Serb will also try to get Olympic gold, the medal he is missing on his record. .

“I always have the highest ambitions and goals. Next year will be no different, that’s for sure. I still have the desire. My body served me well, it obeyed me. I have a great team of people around me.

The motivation, especially for the biggest tournaments in the sport, is still there. It still inspires me to keep going. After all, people see you shine at the big tournaments, but they don’t see all the weeks and months of dedication; You work day after day, week after week, trying to build your form to reach the top where you want to be.

For me, it’s obviously the Grand Slam finals and the Tournament of Champions, and next year, hopefully, the Olympics. The mentality is the same. I will continue. I don’t know if I’ll have as good a year next year, but I’ll keep my mind fresh and motivated to do it” – Novak Djokovic.
