Novak Djokovic: Young tennis players awakened a beast inside me

The tennis legend of the world, Novak Djokovic, said that the youngsters, Carlos Alcaraz, Yannick Sinner and Holger Rune, have awakened a "beast" inside him, as the Serbian tennis player is not going to stop winning new titles despite the competition.

This season, Djokovic has won all tournaments except Wimbledon. It was at this tournament that 36-year-old Djokovic lost to the young opponent, Carlos Alcaraz, in a match that lasted four hours and 46 minutes.

Novak Djokovic calls young players in tennis a threat that forces even tennis mastodons like him to change their style.

In the ATP Tour Finals in November, Djokovic took revenge against Alcaraz and beat him convincingly in two sets, 6-3 and 6-2. It was here that, according to the Serbian tennis player, the beast was awoken inside him.

"Now the young guys have excitement in their eyes, they are hungry for victories, and to beat an experienced tennis player is an additional motivation for them," Djokovic said in an interview with CBS.

Djokovic remains the world number one and holds the all-time record for the number one ranking. The Serbian tennis player is also a 24-time Grand Slam champion.
