"You always said that to be the best, you have to beat the best. Now you are the best, you beat the best. What is it like to be the best now and everyone wants to beat you," was the question on Tennis Channel.

"I still consider Novak the best. I have to beat him more than once or twice, it's probably different for other players. For some, I'm the best and I'm everyone's target, but I my eye on Novak and I want to play more times against him, it's really phenomenal when I'm on the court with him. But like I said, to be the best, I have to beat the best," Alcaraz said.
