Djokovic eager to beat Sinner, Alcaraz

China Daily  

Novak Djokovic holds a guitar given to him by Argentine singer Abel Pintos during a farewell exhibition match for Argentina's Juan Martin del Potro in Buenos Aires on Sunday. AFP Novak Djokovic is ready to challenge Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz on the Grand Slam stage when he returns to action at the Australian Open after an underwhelming campaign this year, the 24-time champion said. World No 1 Sinner dethroned Djokovic at Melbourne Park en route to his maiden Grand Slam win, and the 23-year-old Italian also beat the Serb in the Shanghai Masters final in October. Djokovic withdrew from the French Open quarterfinals due to a knee injury, while 14-time champion Rafa Nadal lost to Alexander Zverev in the first round, allowing Alcaraz to dominate Roland Garros. It was recently announced that former Wimbledon and US Open champion Murray has joined Djokovic's coaching team, as the Serbian bids to win a record-extending 11th Australian Open when the season's first major starts on Jan 12.
