Novak Djokovic responds to Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz challenge at French Open

Novak Djokovic is unfazed by the prospect of facing Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open. The top half of the draw is stacked, with the world number one on course to face the 13-time winner as early as the quarter-finals.

A second meeting with the game’s brightest young star could take place in the last four, with a possible rematch with Stefanos Tsitsipas on the cards in the final. Despite the stiff challenges in his way, the world number one is confident he can have a strong tournament.

“I feel I am always in that contention to fight for any grand slam trophy,” he said. "I believe in my own abilities to get far and to fight for one of the most prestigious trophies in the world of tennis. As a defending champion, of course, more so, to believe I can do it again.”
