"Carlos Alcaraz is more impressive than Djokovic in terms of playing style"

Coach Patrick Mouratoglou shared on his personal page: "The best player in the world is the one who holds the number one position and that is Djokovic. If Alcaraz regains this position, the best player is Alcaraz. I think Carlos is an extraordinary player and I have no doubt that he will hold the number one ATP position for many years.

Technically, Djokovic is number one. Novak is probably the greatest player in history. He's the one who's won the Grand Slams for the last 15 years. Djokovic came in at a time when Rafael and Roger were dominating and then beat them both to take the top spot.

I think Carlos is more impressive than Novak in terms of his game. Alcaraz has a powerful shot and is very physical. He also plays inspiring tennis . I understand that people wanted to put Carlos above Djokovic, but that hasn't happened yet."

Novak Djokovic is the top seed at the Monte Carlo Masters 2023, which will start on April 9, while Alcaraz will not be participating due to injury. Since the beginning of 2023, Djokovic has won the Adelaide Cup and the Australian Open, but he lost to Medvedev in the semi-finals of the Dubai Championship.

Carlos Alcaraz won the Indian Wells and Argentina Open titles this year. However, after being eliminated in the Miami Open semi-finals, the Spaniard suffered an injury and decided not to play in Monte Carlo.

Having been eliminated in the second round of Monte Carlo last year, Djokovic only has 45 points to defend in this year's tournament to retain his world number one ranking. After the tournament in Monaco, Djokovic will attend the ATP 250 Srpska Open (April 17-23) in Bosnia, before heading to three important clay tournaments: the Madrid Open (April 24-May 7), the Rome Masters (May 8-21) and especially Roland Garros (May 28-June 11).

If he recovers from his injury, Carlos Alcaraz will compete in the ATP 500 Barcelona Open (April 17 to April 23), before competing with Djokovic at the Madrid Masters, Rome Masters (ATP Masters 1000) and Roland Garros (Grand Slam).
