The Serb, ranked No.1 in the world, is still finding his rhythm after a dry few months. That Novak Djokovic has only been able to play two matches so far at La Caja Mágica probably wasn't the ideal preparation, but those two clashes came against very strong opponents, in Gael Monfils and Hubert Hurkacz.
But in the shape of the Spanish 18-year-old, he faces perhaps his sternest opponent yet. Carlos Alcaraz Garfia is undoubtedly the hottest young prospect in world tennis and that was only underlined by his impressive win yesterday against...you guessed it, Rafa Nadal. Adding this week's championship to the Barcelona Open he won only a couple of weeks ago would be an enormous statement of intent from the youngster ahead of the upcoming Roland-Garros - but he does have Novak standing in his way.
It could be an epochal moment in the history of tennis, so keep reading to discover how you can watch a Djokovic vs Alcaraz live stream from wherever you are in the world today.
