Arthur Cazaux content with his career trajectory after his Australian Open run

Cazaux is in the same age group as Alcaraz and Holger Rune, but the latter two are far more accomplished than him. The Frenchman, whose career has been plagued by injuries, ousted Rune en route to the fourth round of the Australian Open.

Cazaux participated in the Open Sud de France this week. Speaking at a pre-match conference, he praised the two but stated that he's got own path to carve. He added that he's going to keep working hard and that'll reflect in his results.

"I am not as precocious as him (Rune) or Alcaraz, but I have my own path and I advance at my own pace. I have had many injuries that have slowed me down a lot, but that has not stopped me from believing. I'm going at my own pace and we'll see where it takes me, - Cazaux said.

Cazaux defeated Maximilan Marterer 6-1, 6-3 in the first round, but went down fighting 5-7, 6-2, 6-7 (4) to Felix Auger-Aliassime after that.

Novak Djokovic at the 2024 Australian Open.

Djokovic's achievements makes every loss of his a surprise considering the high bar he has set for himself. He bowed out in the semifinals of the Australian Open following a four-set loss to Jannik Sinner.

Troicki has defended Djokovic's performance and stated that, in the end, he's just human and can't win every single match. While he acknowledged that players are getting better, he expects the World No. 1 to bounce back as well.

"I think he [Novak Djokovic] can do much better than that [Australian Open 2024 performances] and he himself is aware of it. Of course, he is a man and not a machine, we cannot always expect him to win every Grand Slam. Young players are getting better and better, they are freer, they are progressing," - Troicki said.

"It is not easy to maintain that continuity, and always in top form. That's obvious. Unfortunately, he lost this time, but we all know he doesn't give up and I'm sure he'll be back soon," - he added.

Djokovic isn't scheduled to compete in any of the tournaments in February for now. His next appearance is likely to be at the Indian Wells Masters in March.
