Carlos Alcaraz has claimed that he wants to see Novak Djokovic play “every tournament” in 2023 after the Serb was famously left unable to play two Grand Slams and four Masters 1000 events this year. The world No 1 wanted to continue proving himself next season by beating the 21-time Grand Slam champion, having already won their only meeting at this year’s Madrid Masters.

“Talking for me, I want to see Novak play in every tournament.” And the 19-year-old admitted he wanted the 21-time Grand Slam champion back in action for a selfish reason – to prove himself against one of the sport’s biggest forces.
