Djokovic has the Australian Open with a great display of power. But Alcaraz was not there, the number 1 in the world. He would have had a really hard time with that. And against Nadal in good form too. But Alcaraz had to miss this tournament due to an injury and Nadal was actually unable to continue in the 2nd round. If both had been fit, it would have been a lot more difficult for Djokovic. Perhaps most memorable was Murray's performance, who at times returned to his old level of 10 years ago when he was among the best tennis players in the world at the time. Yet with Murray I always felt that he was in the shadow of players like Djokovic, Federer and Nadal.

After watching his quality and performance into Australian Open now I have feeling he is still much better and younger than new generation players and have enough years to rule this tennis court with this game, and we will have too many records against his name in coming years even we lost few top rank players but still he was playing like champions and now all eyes on French Open where things could be completely different, and we will have challenging matches for him but unfit Nadal is surely going to be hurt if he is not going to play in French Open with Alcaraz is also looking impressive, but injury is surely issue for many players hopefully he will be able to join here and give his best on clay court which is clearly ruled by Nadal for many years.

I see a lot of people saying that Novak Djokovic did win the Australian Open. But Alcaraz was not there, so he found it easy.

First of all, I am going to say that no one found the Australian Open easy. In my opinion, Novak Djokovic still had to perform at his best to win. And because he performed at his best was the reason why it felt like he did not face too many problems. Now if he can do better than this or not is another story.

So, I do agree that Djokovic is going to have a little problem while facing Alcaraz. But I think we should also give him the credit that he deserves for winning the Australian Open.
