?Alcaraz Didn?t Cheat?: Fans Defend Carlos After Epic Win Over Novak Djokovic as F1 Champ Max Verstappen Faces the Brunt of Controversial Past Involving Lewis Hamilton

Novak Djokovic?s Wimbledon win streak and dominance came to an end with Carlos Alcaraz?s triumph. The Serbian star was 36 years old when it happened. And guess what? Lewis Hamilton was also 36 when Max Verstappen ended his dominance. However, that?s where the similarities end as Max Verstappen faces the brunt of a controversial past with Lewis Hamilton. Carlos Alcaraz is defended by fans after his epic victory. But why do the fans need to defend Alcaraz??

Carlos Alcaraz beat the defending Champion Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon last evening. The young Spanish Tennis star ended Djokovic?s 34-match winning streak at Wimbledon and prevented him from winning the record-tying 8th title. The young gun showed his mettle against the 36-year-old Serbian Star. Alcaraz?s win led to people comparing him to the young F1 sensation Max Verstappen.

@maxsredbull quoted a post on Twitter with the caption ?So he pretty much is the Max Verstappen of tennis?. The comparison was probably made as both Alcaraz and Verstappen became successful in their respective sports at a very young age. However many fans didn?t like the comparison that was made and reminded the community about the controversial past between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen from Abu Dhabi 2021.
