John McEnroe says it would be great for American tennis to see an American man win this year's US Open but added his wish is to see a Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz match at Flushing Meadows. Djokovic and Alcaraz have had three matches on the biggest stage in recent months. After Djokovic beat Alcaraz in the French Open semifinal, the Spaniard defeated the Serb in the Wimbledon final. Last week, Djokovic won Cincinnati after edging out Alcaraz in a three-hour and 39-minute thriller 5-7 7-6 (7) 7-6 (4). Since Djokovic and Alcaraz will be the two top seeds at the US Open, the only chance of seeing them clash at Flushing Meadows will be if they both make the final.
McEnroe hopes for a Djokovic-Alcaraz match at the US Open"What Alcaraz has done in the last year is unbelievable. He's put himself in a position where you talk about him in the same way as Novak and Rafa [Nadal] in a way which is incredible. The best player I've ever seen at his age. It's incredible how good he is already. Novak is incredible how good he still is. Even though in America you want to see an American breakthrough, everyone is saying 'oh I want to see Alcaraz play Novak' because he wasn't allowed to play. That was the first tournament in America he's played in two years in the States. The whole thing was crazy. It's a great story. To see the all-time great play against the young superstar is incredible. I'd love to see that match played again. The last couple of matches have all been close and incredible matches. Let's hope it lasts," McEnroe said, via Eurosport.
After losing the Wimbledon final, Djokovic said his wish was to meet Alcaraz in the US Open final. It remains to be seen if for a second consecutive Grand Slam there will be a Djokovic and Alcaraz match.
