Novak Djokovic: Wimbledon is my best chance of beating Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz

Novak Djokovic believes that Wimbledon gives him the best chance of beating Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

The Serb takes on Italian Flavio Cobolli in the quarter-finals at the All England Club on Wednesday (09.07.25) and thinks that grass courts provide him with a brilliant opportunity to win a history-making 25th Grand Slam title.

Djokovic said: "I don't think I'm a favourite against these guys at the moment. I think they are [the favourites]. Both of them.

"But I probably have my best chance against them here. If it comes down to me facing one or both of them, which I hope it does, as it would mean I have proceeded all the way to the final, then I'll obviously look for my best game to win.

"I think I do have a chance. There's no doubt about it. I think my results on grass, even in the previous years, are a testament to my confidence on this surface.

"I've been playing some really good tennis this year. So I feel good about myself. I feel confident. I feel motivated to go all the way. Let's see what happens."

Djokovic could face world number one Sinner in the semi-finals at Wimbledon but is refusing to take the challenge posed by 22nd seed Cobolli lightly.

He said: "He's a very talented player. One of the youngsters coming up. He's one of those players that is young, and that we are probably going to see quite a bit in the future.

"I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with his results on grass because he doesn't strike me as a grass court specialist with his game, but he has reached the quarter-finals.

"He's beaten [Marin] Cilic and some big servers and big players that are grass court specialists. So huge credit to him."
