It doesn't look like that's close to happening," Murray told the BBC on Monday.
He's played at this level for such a long time now," said Britain's Murray, who won three Grand Slams.
In July, 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz ended Djokovic's Wimbledon reign after the Serbian had won four titles in a row at the All England Club.
"Physically, motivation, whether someone like Alcaraz improves - he's an amazing player Alcaraz, he's brilliant, but to do what Novak is doing on a consistent basis is different."
