The old adage goes that if you're good enough, you're old enough—and Novak Djokovic believes Carlos Alcaraz has it in him to clinch this year's French Open.
Despite being just 19 years of age, Alcaraz leads the ATP Tour with four tournament wins this season after winning the Madrid Open on Sunday. The teenager bested Rafael Nadal and Djokovic before toppling Alexander Zverev 6-3, 6-1 in his home final.
It sets the stage for a thrilling entry into what will be his second main draw at Roland Garros later this month. Like fellow Spaniard Nadal, Alcaraz looks particularly menacing on clay, so much so that Djokovic is backing him to be in contention in Paris.
