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.
Carlos Alcaraz says Kyrgios has the best chance to stop Djokovic at Wimbledon: “I’m not saying I’m not capable of beating Novak. But I think I have less chances than on other surfaces. I think Kyrgios has a better chance to defeat Novak than any other player”
