“Everything we have done already has been unbelievable, an amazing journey so far.

"As I said, I really want to keep going, to keep improving, to keep growing up, try to keep winning. That’s all that matters to me right now.

“Obviously I’ve seen and I’ve heard all the stats that I am the youngest to win at Roland Garros and Wimbledon the same year, to win whatever.

"I honestly try not to think about it too much. It’s a really great start to my career, but I have to keep going.

“I have to keep building my path. At the end of my career, I want to sit at the same table as the big guys.

"That’s my main goal. That’s my dream right now.

Djokovic was far from his best during the showdown.

And Alcaraz admitted his opponent made a 'lot of mistakes' during the clash.

“It was a great match for me,” he added. “Obviously Novak didn’t play his best the first two sets, a lot of mistakes.

"Yeah, it is a great feeling even thinking about being French Open winner and Wimbledon champion in the same year, that few players done it before.

“It’s unbelievable. I try to realize that I won Wimbledon twice and try to feel that it was the same feeling as last year."

Alcaraz did, however, praise Djokovic.

He dubbed the 37-year-old 'Superman' and hailed is powers of recovery, with Djokovic previously undergoing surgery on his back just 37 days before the start of the tournament.
