The Antwerp tournament moves to Brussels.

“I met him for the first time five minutes before walking into that interview room and I congratulated himdeclared Novak Djokovic after his success on Faria. Not only for his victory but also for everything he has done over the last six to twelve months. I’ve followed his rise and I love the way he plays big points. He is courageous, he hits very cleanly, he is a complete player. It’s an exciting time for Brazil, but also for the whole tennis world, because it’s impressive that such a young player is able to play so well in a big tournament…”

I see myself in him at the same age.

The man with 24 Grand Slam titles went even further in his praise: “I’m a fan of his game. I watched him last year. In one of my interviews for the ATP, I said that I saw a little of my game in his, especially when I was his age. When you’re a little careless in your shots, just wanting to show what you’re capable of.”

The Brazilian will try to confirm his performance in the first round this Thursday morning against the Italian Lorenzo Sonego (ATP 55). And there is no doubt that Carlos Alcaraz will take a quick look at his younger brother’s performance.

“It’s just incredible the way he played his first Grand Slam match against a top 10 playerexplained the Spaniard. It’s incredible the way he approaches the game, the way he deals with his nerves. I’ll have to be wary of him in the future. From this season. We will very soon register Jo’s nameão Fonseca on the list of the best players in the world.”

With so much praise, the pressure will increase on the shoulders of the Rio native.
