Roland Garros > Michael Chang (on the clash between Djokovic and Alcaraz): “I don’t think Novak wants to play three meters behind his baseline against Carlos. He’s going to have to take risks”

Present in recent days at Roland‐Garros to participate in the famous tournament of legends, the American Michael Chang, winner of the 1989 edition at only 17 years old, delivered his tactical analysis of the clash to come between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic , scheduled for this Friday in the semi-finals from 2:45 p.m.

“If you’re up against guys who are playing very well, who are aggressive from the baseline and you don’t vary, it will be very easy for them to get into a rhythm and if they are in a rhythm, it will be difficult. to get them out. I think Novak is going to have to play attacking tennis. He’s going to have to take the balls early, take risks and he’s going to have to do it with consistency. I don’t think he wants to play three meters behind his backline, following the balls from side to side against a younger guy who is incredibly fit and incredibly hungry to win Roland-Garros.”Chang told the official tournament website.
