Novak Djokovic is ready to take the fight to Carlos Alcaraz again at the US Open as he targets his revenge for his narrow Wimbledon defeat.
The 36-year-old lost his long-standing unbeaten record at Wimbledon, stretching back to 2017, after his five-set defeat to the young Spaniard. But the Serbian is keen to make up for his SW19 disappointment at Flushing Meadows in September.
“I keep on going with the same resolution, with a big desire and fresh goals – the US Open and Davis Cup are the most important competitions for me until the end of this year. I hope to stay healthy, motivated, ready, strong – so that I can fight for another Grand Slam title,” he said.
“I am looking forward to coming back to New York. Throughout my career, I’ve played my best on hard courts, although grass has become my favourite surface too in the last five-six years. But overall, considering tournaments where I’ve been most successful – it’s hard courts.”
