When Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz hit the court, you know fireworks are coming! This sparring session before Wimbledon was no ordinary practice — they played a staggering 55 breaks before the match was cut short due to time limits. Yes, you read that right, 55 breaks! Novak is thrilled that Alcaraz chose him as a sparring partner, and that’s no small deal since Carlos is the defending champion and gets to pick who he trains with.
“I couldn’t be happier,” Djokovic said, highlighting what a privilege it is to train on Wimbledon’s central court, on that perfectly maintained grass. Although Novak has won Wimbledon seven times, the last two finals saw him defeated by Alcaraz.
The Roland Garros final between Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner was a thriller, with the Italian having 23 consecutive match points, but Carlos emerged victorious. Djokovic didn’t watch the entire match as he was in Serbia but praised both players for an incredible duel.
This sparring isn’t just practice; it’s a battlefield showing why these guys are at the top of the tennis world. If you think tennis is boring, think again!
So, what do you think — can Novak reclaim Wimbledon glory, or is it Alcaraz’s time now? Drop your thoughts and let’s see who really rules the grass this year!
