Knowing Novak, I'm sure he'll be thrilled to take on the challenge again," says Fritz about his upcoming match against Alcaraz
Taylor Fritz, defeated by Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the US Open, was asked about the challenge awaiting the Serb in the next round: Carlos Alcaraz.
The American then spoke about Djokovic's level and expressed his regret at not advancing: "It's hard to predict. As I said, I think his level improved significantly in the fourth set.
He served better, made fewer errors, and played better. In the previous sets, I don't think either of us played our best tennis, so I can't speak for him; I'm not sure.
What I can tell you is that when the draw came out, I was looking forward to possibly facing Novak again, and who knows, maybe Carlos or Jannik later. It was great.
I love challenges. Knowing Novak, the competitor that he is, I'm sure he'll be thrilled to take on a challenge of that caliber again.
