Roger Federer was present on day two of Wimbledon on Centre Court, so Carlos Alcaraz was a bit envious and stated that he wants the legend to attend one of his forthcoming matches.
Number one seed Alcaraz defeated Jeremy Chardy in round one of Wimbledon in straight sets on court 1 to open his tournament with a victory. The former world number one, Roger Federer, returned to Wimbledon’s renowned Centre Court to thunderous applause as the eight-time SW19 champion took his seat in the royal box to witness the action on day two while Alcaraz was competing on the other court.
After losing in the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2022, Alcaraz is one of the favorites to win the tournament. The 20-year-old claimed he was in awe of the Swiss former player and hoped to meet the 20-time Grand Slam winner.
