Novak Djokovic explains why Carlos Alcaraz rivalry reminds him of Rafael Nadal matchups
Novak Djokovic is “expecting a big battle” against Carlos Alcaraz at the Australian Open, but he does have a warning for his rival as he is feeling good about his game ahead of the match. The two former world No 1s set up a quarter-final match at Melbourne Park as they both claimed comfortable wins with Alcaraz advancing when Jack Draper retired after the Spaniard won the opening two sets while Djokovic defeated Jiri Lehecka in straight sets.
