Spanish Tennis Sensation Carlos Alcaraz Downplays Own Ability as He Rates Aussie Star Nick Kyrgios to Take On In-Form Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon

Even though Novak Djokovic set a record by winning his 23rd grand slam, Carlos Alcaraz is all the rage in tennis. As he climbed the ranks quickly by winning the 2022 US Open, Alcaraz became the carrier of the big four’s legacy. Although he may be one of the players to watch out for, the Spaniard does not have faith that he will be able to beat Djokovic in the upcoming Wimbledon. For Carlitos, the bad boy of tennis, is the only player who has a shot at defeating the Djoker.

Alcaraz is not the only player who believes that Nick Kyrgios can come out triumphant against Djokovic. After the 2022 Wimbledon final, Djokovic overtook Roger Federer’s tally. But Frances Tiafoe believed that Kyrgios was the one who played better tennis in the stadium. For Tiafoe, Kyrgios lost only because of Djokovic’s experience over the Aussie’s.?

Carlos Alcaraz puts Nick Kyrgios above him

As the young Spaniard prepares for the grass major, he will be ready to face several world-class players. If he reaches the finals of the Wimbledon Championships, Alcaraz would likely face Djokovic for a chance at revenge. However, Carlitos is not sure of his chances at glory.

In an interview with Eurosport, Alcaraz stated that since Nick Kyrgios has played a Wimbledon final, he plays great on grass. He said, “[Nick] Kyrgios has already played a final in Wimbledon and he’s very good on grass as well.”?

While he didn’t outrightly state that he couldn’t beat Djokovic, he felt that other surfaces would fare him better. “I am not saying that I am not capable of beating Djokovic, but I think I have less chances than on other surfaces.”
