"I want to see a third player arrive," Djokovic's wish for the Alcaraz-Sinner rivalry

I want to see a third player arrive, Djokovic's wish for the Alcaraz-Sinner rivalry
le 23/08/2025 à 15h56

Present for the 19th time at Flushing Meadows, Djokovic participated in the usual media day. Asked about the rivalry currently energizing the men's tour (Alcaraz-Sinner), the Serb revealed his desire to see a third player join the dance.

"Their rivalry is without a doubt the best we have right now, and it seems it will continue like that for some time. There are other young players who will certainly challenge them, and I hope someone can enter the battle. Rune was there, he has his ups and downs, Fonseca.

There are players who can take the 'Djoker's' place, the third spot. I identify with the third player, because I was in that situation with Federer and Nadal. So I want to see a third player arrive."

Meanwhile, the 38-year-old player will start with a first round against the 19-year-old American prospect Learner Tien (48th).

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

This week I have used all my formulas and best guesses to try to achieve the high score jimandlori958 set in our last competition. I am two games short because of cancelations and I need all wins to get there.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Grenier and Hsu at the Kobe tournament? The match was played to completion and on time.

Grenier def Ysu 6-2 , 6-2 at Kobe today and the TT canceled the match.

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
