While he isn’t wanting too far forward, Djokovic will probably be nicely conscious that he's near going through Alcaraz. The two-time French Open champion was requested about his experiences of maintaining a tally of the draw and whether or not he stayed updated with whether or not his rivals have been looming.

“Well, you always follow the top guys, you know, in your half or whatever, how they're playing,” he mentioned, indicating that he was conscious of Alcaraz’s outcomes. “Of course you're looking, you're analysing everyone's game. You're basically following what's going on in the draw.

“But most of the attention is obviously focused on you, on what you need to deliver on the court, how you need to perform, how you need to win the next match. It's only about the next step. But of course I do keep in mind what the others are doing, as well.”
