"If that would be the case, at this point, I would actually pick Alcaraz over Djokovic, I think, because I just don't think Djokovic has the match prep," Rothenberg stated during the Match Point podcast on Tennis Majors. The tennis journalist proceeded to justify his stance by pointing out that Djokovic struggled on clay earlier in the season after having missed out on playing at Indian Wells and Miami. "I saw how slow he was to come back in the clay season this year when he didn't play Indian wells and Miami," Rothenberg said. "He had a very slow start with the clay and so we'll see. I think he's gonna play some European tournaments this fall. I'd imagine he will get some matches. But in this imaginary scenario, where it's like the next big tournament, I don't think he has that time to get the confidence back." Novak Djokovic did indeed struggle at the start of the clay season, making an early exit at the Monte-Carlo Masters before losing the final of the Serbia Open to Andrey Rublev. He then went down to Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals of the Madrid Open before registering his first title win of the season at the Italian Open in Rome.

By Subhashish Majumdar Modified 20 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic Novak Djokovic has been away from the action since Wimbledon, but it seems no tennis discussion can be undertaken without bringing the former World No. 1 into focus. Journalist Ben Rothenberg painted a gloomy picture with regard to Djokovic's prospects in the near future considering that the Serb has had little match practice. He reckoned that the 35-year-old would be short on confidence going into big tournaments. Tennis TV@TennisTV Youngest Miami & Madrid men’s championYoungest to defeat both Nadal & Djokovic
