Alcaraz will win.

Djokovic won RG in 2016, lost USO final.
Djokovic won RG in 2021, lost USO final.
Djokovic won RG in 2023, will lose USO final.

It's too much to expect him to win his two weakest slams in the same year.

Your hero is trying to jinx Djokovic as well.


https://www.tennis365.com/tennis-news/roger-federer-picks-us-open-favourite-novak-djokovic

Roger Federer has revealed Novak Djokovic is his favourite to win the 2023 US Open men’s singles title, describing his former rival as “a safe bet.”


So a 36-year old, even before reaching final (has to be beat Shelton first) is a "safe bet" in a potential final against a 20-year old tennis wonder who already beat Djokovic in Wimbledon final?

Interesting.

Alcaraz is younger, has beaten Djokovic in Wimbledon final, and is seed #1.

What is not clear here?

To say "Djokovic is a safe bet to win the title", it's pure malice.


Federer at his best really.

I wish I see Alcaraz is the favorite but I don't.

Alcaraz showed vulnerability while Djokovic showed steadiness.

Djokovic won their cinci meeting and has won like 100 hc slams including this AO.

Alcaraz sucked in Cincinnati as well, winning all of his matches in 3 sets, and then had a match point to beat Djokovic in 2 sets.

Meaning he's an immense talent, able to lift up his game at any point. So even if he doesn't look great, he can be great.

Djokovic is still a contender and I'm glad he is. But even if you think he's the favorite based on showed form or Alcaraz lack of it, I've explained it can be misleading.

But even if he is, be can only be a slight favourite based on showed form, And that's far from a "safe bet".


Safe bet is really nothing more than a jinx wish.

You just said the same thing "So even if he doesn't look great, he can be".

But I guess we aren't discussing who the favorite is, we are discussing "jinx". --

Well what would you expect...

Djokovic is playing US Open ATP 500 event. He has the cakewalk and gets
to eat it too.

The only test will come in the final, and it's possible Alkie & Meds
will tire each other out in a long slugfest.

It is just politics.

Fed Saying: "Alcaraz will surely win", would actually mock Fed/Nadal era down as it would be proof
that even Djoker who manhandled eventually both is not enough for the next gen.

But we got juicy one:

Meds vs Djoker

If Meds wins it will be very juicy 3-way race for year-end #1.
