Former Spanish world No. 12, Feliciano Lopez, believes Novak Djokovic is not on the same level as the duo of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
Recall that Alcaraz and Sinner have shared the spoils of the last six Grand Slams between them, with both the Spaniard and the Italian winning three majors each.
Speaking with Sky Sports Tennis, Lopez stated that Djokovic must raise the standard of his game to match up with Sinner and Alcaraz.

“He’s not at the levels of Carlos and Jannik, especially in the last 18 months, because the numbers speak for themselves.”
“But the way he played against Sinner surprised me. He challenged Sinner and pushed him to the limit,” Lopez continued.
“Although the gap is still big, I see the grass as the only place for him to get to this level that they play because the grass is very different. Djokovic proved that he can still compete at this level, but he will have a better chance on grass,” Lopez concluded.
