Carlos Alcaraz implements Djokovic ban at | Sports News

Carlos Alcaraz has made a personal rule to keep away from tennis discuss with Novak Djokovic, regardless of their growing camaraderie and shared observe classes earlier than Wimbledon. They kept away from discussing recreation methods.

“Yeah, I’ve talked with Novak many, many times. I’ve watched his matches. I’ve practiced with him. I’ve watched his practices as well sometimes,” Alcaraz shared.

“But we have never talk about tennis, about matches, whatever. I prefer to talk with him other things, about life, not about tennis, to be honest.

“So I do not know how to reply that query, to be sincere. Just making an attempt to take some issues about his recreation, the way in which he practices, the way in which he performs generally within the matches.

“But I just watching from outside, not talking with him and asking him some questions about tennis. It’s just about watching his matches because I love watching him play. I love the times that I practiced with him, just to see how he moves, how he plays, how he practices. I love that. But apart of that, I don’t talk too much with him about tennis.”

In stark distinction, Alcaraz’s rival Jannik Sinner has taken an reverse stance. His coach Darren Cahill sought out Djokovic for an in-depth evaluation of the Italian’s gameplay.

Before the Wimbledon matches kicked off, Cahill shared some insights: “I’ve got to say, one of the players that I tapped on the shoulder – he (Sinner) lost to Novak a couple of years ago at Wimbledon in five sets. Won the first two sets, Novak came back and ran away with it,” the Australian coach recounted.

“Novak got used to his ball, got used to the shape, got used to the pace and then just locked in, like Novak does, and doesn’t miss. And won the last three sets reasonably easily.

“And I noticed Novak, and he is all the time great with this, he is all the time been unimaginable once you faucet him on the shoulder. And I stated, ‘Hey hear, I’ve simply began with Jannik, do not inform me something you do not need to inform me, however can I ask what you had been feeling on the market?’ And he was unimaginable.”

DON’T MISS

Djokovic offered his perspective generously, saying, “He principally stated, ‘Hey hear. Good luck with working with him. Hits the ball great, however there’s no variation. So , there’s no form on his shot.

“There’s no height over the net. Doesn’t come to the net. He’s not trying to bring me in, I know that he returns well, but he’s not attacking my serve on the return of serve’.”
