Mouratoglou reveals Novak Djokovic’s key to challenge Alcaraz, Sinner
Patrick Mouratoglou offered his perspective on Novak Djokovic’s current position in the men’s game. At 38, the veteran is still ranked inside the top-5 after notching all four Major semi-finals in 2025.
However, he has been struggling against the world’s strongest duo, losing three of those semi-finals to Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. While remaining competitive, the Serb has lost the drive against the Spaniard and the Italian.
He fell to Alcaraz in the US Open semi-final and admitted it’s getting more challenging for him to stay in touch with them physically, especially in the best-of-five format.
Novak has achieved everything our sport has to offer. However, he keeps his devotion and still seeks the 25th Major trophy. Mouratoglou pointed out that Djokovic’s biggest test may not be physical or technical but mental.
While Alcaraz and Sinner are setting new standards at the top of the game, the famous coach believes Djokovic still possesses what it takes to beat them on the most notable stages.
However, he has to rediscover the inner fire that has defined his career and made him the most accomplished player of all time. Patrick recalled the 2024 Olympic Games in Pris and Djokovic’s incredible triumph over Alcaraz in a memorable final.
That display of willpower while chasing the only missing notable title, Mouratoglou suggested, is proof that the motivation factor could be decisive for the Serb moving forward, even at his age.
However, with everything in his impressive CV and a legacy firmly cemented, the challenge now lies in finding fresh reasons to push through against the next ear champions.
Is Novak ready for that in 2026? We will find out in a couple of months in Melbourne.
“Novak is undoubtedly the greatest player of all time. However, his expressions make me feel that he does not believe he can beat Carlos or Jannik anymore. He admitted that during the press conference after falling to Carlos at the US Open.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
