Alcaraz is now one of the 5 tennis players who have faced Djokovic in the 6 most important tournaments
Rivalry fulfilled. It seems unbelievable that, despite the age gap between them, Carlos Alcaraz can already be considered one of the most important rivals in Novak Djokovic's career. Perhaps not in terms of the number of matches played, but certainly in their significance. The Spanish and the Serbian have faced each other at all 4 Grand Slam tournaments, the ATP Finals, and the Olympics.
This is something only four other men have done with Djokovic: Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Kei Nishikori. The cases of Federer and Wawrinka are incomplete as they did not compete against the Serbian at the Olympic Games, although they did meet at all four majors and the ATP Finals.
Carlos Alcaraz is just 22 years old, but he has already faced the GOAT Novak Djokovic (16 years older):
