Former American tennis player Andy Roddick stated that Novak Djokovic is "really" the best player in the world, although the first place in the ATP list is occupied by the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.

– The rise of n Alcaraz was "meteoric". "He's someone who was talked about as being able to win major titles, but now that he's reached the top spot so quickly, it's a different story," said Roddick.

According to the American, as he looks ahead to next season, he thinks it would be really hard to find someone who doesn't think the Serbian ace is still the best player in the world.

– The number one position for Alcaraz is well deserved, he has been amazing to watch this year. I desperately wanted him to play in Turin with this group of phenomenal players, but we want him to be healthy and have a long career ahead of him - are the words of Roddick.

To recall, Djokovic celebrated for the fifth time at the Finals, in the final in Turin he was better than Kasper Rud, and the next big challenge awaits him in January at the Grand Slam tournament in Melbourne, "Australian Open 2023".

Novak Djokovic pushes the boundaries: The world of tennis has not seen this for 17 years!
