Carlos Alcaraz lost a tough match in the Roland Garros semi-final last month to Novak Djokovic. After both players won a set, it seemed as if the Serbian legend was the one to struggle before the 20-year-old from Spain had to surrender to cramps.
Eventually, Novak Djokovic breezed to victory, but it was pretty clear that Carlitos was completely hampered by his cramps. During the press conference that followed his match against Nicolas Jarry, Carlos Alcaraz said that he would like to play in the Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic.
Carlitos commented: “My dream is to play a final here [in Wimbledon]. Even better [if it] is Novak [Djokovic].”
