The rivalry being built between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz in such a short time is incredible. In just three seasons, the Serbian and the Spaniard will complete the perfect square this Friday, with direct face-offs in all four Grand Slams. Even Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal didn't achieve this, as they never had the chance to play each other at the US Open. This statistical madness also includes an Olympic final, ATP Finals semifinals, or Masters 1000 finals if we broaden the perspective a bit. Carlitos and Nole, what a duo!

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Djokovic y Alcaraz logran lo que nunca pudieron hacer Federer y Nadal
