"Maybe some people think that it would be a huge relief for me winning Roland Garros, being the only men's tennis player with 23 slams.
Alcaraz admitted that the stress and tension of facing Djokovic brought on the debilitating cramps that ruined his chances of winning that showdown just five weeks ago.
Djokovic, locked at 1-1 in their head-to-head record, was looking forward to the challenge too.
We're both playing well," added Djokovic as he looks to become the oldest man in the Open Era to win the grasscourt major.
It's going to be a great challenge, greatest challenge that I could have at the moment from any angle really: physical, mental, emotional."
