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.
There is no doubt right now Novak Djokovic is physically and mentally the best player in Tennis, and he can do better in near future and with the absence of Alcaraz things were never been difficult for him because as he gives his best I have feeling Alcaraz is also not near his game and needs good time for giving him challenge mostly new generation players are not having consistency which is problem and surely Novak Djokovic can take good advantage of this all.
As we have too many players for the future but mostly are not giving results which were expected things are looking not impressive, and maybe we will have these few legendary players last as those are dominating and have too many records in this game few months back there were few rumours about Medvedev and Tsitsipass but now these both are declined in performance and quality.
