JUST IN <\/strong> Djokovic and Alcaraz could be worrying about Medvedev after blessing in disguise[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n Djokovic, however, was in disagreement with the notion that not becoming the record holder for most Grand Slam men\u2019s singles titles would frustrate him more than Nadal – while also curiously admitting that he does have \u201csome negative opinions\u201d about Nadal and Roger Federer.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve seen that his comments went viral, that many people spoke about it,\u201d Djokovic told Sportal. \u201cEveryone\u2019s entitled to their own opinion, how he interprets someone else in a certain context etc. That\u2019s all I can say. Rafa is a great champion and I respect and appreciate him as such \u2013 as a great champion, my biggest rival and as a player who contributed to shaping my game and to results I\u2019ve accomplished.<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Again, that\u2019s Rafa\u2019s opinion and I, of course, don\u2019t agree. I have my opinion, but I won\u2019t share it as I don\u2019t want us to go deeper into that. There is no need for that.\u201d<\/p>\n Djokovic has the chance to face Nadal once again at the Australian Open. The tournament\u2019s chief Craig Tiley has confirmed that the two-time champion will make his return from injury down under.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can reveal exclusively here that Rafa will be back,\u201d Tiley said. \u201cHe’s been off for most of the year and in talking to him over the last few days he confirmed he will be back, which we’re really excited about, the champion of 2022. That’s awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch one of the biggest crossover fights of the year on DAZN as KSI and Logan Paul face off against the opponants in Manchester on October 14th.<\/p>\n It costs \u00a320.99 and you also get to enjoy DAZN for the rest of the month for just \u00a31 thanks to a special deal.<\/p>\n The Pay-per-view costs \u00a320.99 and you’ll be able to enjoy all the action on the night.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/Novak-Djokovic-Nadal-5005525.jpg?r=1697011641263\")
