He has set the bar so high throughout his career that the feat of reaching the semi-finals of the US Open 2025 at the age of 38 is not valued as it deserves. Novak Djokovic always wants more and is aware that he faces a major challenge. His reflections before facing Carlos Alcaraz leave no one indifferent.

Maximum expectation. That is what is felt at the US Open 2025 before a semi-final match that many believe could shape the future of Novak Djokovic. While it is true that, at 38, he continues to show a natural ability to defeat the vast majority of his opponents, as evidenced by his full slate of Grand Slam semi-finals this year, if he feels that he is far from being able to beat Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, he might reconsider his continuation. His words in Sportklub reveal the indomitable competitive spirit of the Serbian.

- Djokovic sees more opportunities against Alcaraz than against Sinner

"When I'm in shape and capable of playing my best tennis, I still believe I can beat both Alcaraz and Sinner. The most dangerous part is that I need to make a great effort, work very hard, and push my body to its limits to have the chance to face them, so it's a bit of an unfair battle because their youth and current superiority allow them to arrive in full condition, while I already have half an empty tank. That's biology," resignedly says the Balkan player.

The truth is that two out of the three semi-finals lost this year in Grand Slam have been against Sinner, a player he hasn't beaten since 2023 and against whom he has succumbed in their last five encounters. His rivalry with Alcaraz, on the other hand, is very different, having emerged victorious in four of their last five matches and leading the head-to-head by 5-3. 

- Novak asserts that these matches are what keep him active

"One could say that it benefits me to play against Carlos in the semi-finals rather than against Jannik, at least, that's what the latest results suggest. In any case, in Australia and London, I arrived injured at the semi-final match and not now. Each match is a different story. I know Alcaraz is the favorite, playing at an impressive level, but I hope to raise my game. These matches are what keep me competing, it's exciting to have the opportunity to beat the best currently," declared a Novak Djokovic who is seeking a historic achievement in this US Open 2025.
