Novak Djokovic has shared his admiration for the level of play displayed by Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in their Roland Garros final, describing it as one of the most historic matches ever contested at the tournament.
Despite initially resisting the urge to tune in, Djokovic recounted how his wife encouraged him to watch the match. “To be honest, I was in my country. My wife wanted to watch the final but I didn’t want to watch it,” he said. “The first part of the match we went outside for lunch. We came back and I ended up watching it.”
Djokovic was clearly moved by what he witnessed upon his return. “It is a different surface, a different style of play but what they produced in the final in Paris was amazing,” he noted, emphasizing the exceptional quality and drama that unfolded on the clay.
He praised both players for rising to the occasion, saying, “Incredible, incredible match. Huge credit to both of them. It was one of the most historic matches we have ever seen.”
Djokovic’s comments reflect the growing recognition of Alcaraz and Sinner as defining figures of the sport’s next generation, continuing to captivate audiences with performances that echo through tennis history.
