Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz might be fierce rivals, but they're also individuals who have plenty of things in common.
For starters, there is the love for tennis, which is as strong as ever in both. They love the sport, they love competing and the competition, which is already a pretty good thing to bond over.
They also shared the court for some pretty spectacular matches already, and fans are hopeful that plenty of more come in the future.
Alcaraz and Djokovic also practice together from time to time, which some might call a bad idea because you give your rival a chance to dissect your game, but it doesn't matter to them. Neither is afraid of the other, and they actually thrive in the competition.
Off the court, the relationship is strong as well. Alcaraz revealed that recently admitted to having some great moments with Djokovic off the courts.
We have a very pleasant relationship, he is a wonderful person. These are very good moments that I have with him off the court.
One of those moments was recently caught in Paris. Djokovic and Alcaraz were in the warm-up area of the event and were engaged in a very passionate exchange where Djokovic seemed to explain something to Alcaraz, who was carefully paying attention.
The Spaniard already admitted that he's quite obsessed with Djokovic, watching his practices and the way he moves to learn from one of the best. His idol was Roger Federer growing up, but now he's potentially curious to see what allowed Djokovic to dominate as long as he's dominating the sport he loves.
We'll see, but it's good to see healthy sports rivalries. You want to keep the competitiveness on the courts and have them be respectful of the other off the courts.
