However, the former world No. 1 doubles player was certain that the ‘Wimbledon‘ baton would be passed down to the Swiss Maestro.

And, his prediction eventually turned out to be true when the 41-year-old tennis legend marked his 8th triumph on the Centre Court, breaking Sampras’ previous record of 7 singles titles. Now, after almost two decades, the Indian tennis star has once again come forward to make a bold prediction about the 20-year-old sensation, ?Carlos Alcaraz.
