"Carlos Alcaraz is doing enough, Novak Djokovic is superhuman": Nick Kyrgios shares thoughts on top two players
ATP
Nick
Kyrgios showered praise on Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic during the
broadcasts of the 2023 ATP Finals.
The former
world No. 13 joined Tennis Channel as a commentator during the Finals in Turin.
Nick Kyrgios, this time in the role of a commentator, teamed up with former
world No. 1 Jim Courier to discuss the moments that surprised him the most
during the season. Kyrgios did not hesitate to choose Alcaraz and Djokovic.
While
acknowledging that at times the Spaniard did not meet the expectations of the
public, Kyrgios emphasized that Alcaraz continues to achieve incredible
milestones at a young age. He also praised the world No. 1 Djokovic for
consistently winning major titles even at the age of 36.
“To be this
young and dominating the way he (Alcaraz) has I think is incredible. There's
always going to be people saying, 'We want more, we want more', but you've got
to be patient with him, I think he's doing enough for that age. Novak is
obviously superhuman, he is an alien from another planet," the Aussie
said.
Kyrgios
also highlighted the other tennis players participating in the ATP Finals,
including Holger Rune, Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Alexander
Zverev.
"All
the other guys, Rune, pulled it together towards the end of the year, he went
through a bit of a struggle period, pulled it back, that's great to see, I like
him. Obviously, Rublev, Medvedev, Zverev, these guys are just so consistent all
the time. Tsitsipas, obviously one of the best ball strikers that we
have," Kyrgios said.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
