He will definitely never be quiet. After having ousted his two greatest historical rivals, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, not without difficulty, Novak Djokovic undoubtedly hoped to be able to peacefully continue his harvest of Grand Slams. Unfortunately for him, it was without counting on the advent of a new enemy with just as much talent as his elders, in the person of Carlos Alcaraz.

And my current goal is to finish the year as world No. 1, so Novak is definitely on my mind a lot. I have to be 100% on every shot to be able to catch him. I have to play at my best.
Like a form of obsession, the one who prefers to be called Carlitos makes Djoker his main target at the end of the season in order to steal his throne in the ATP rankings.
