There has been a rather weird controversy going around social media in the last few hours. As reported by Serbian outlet B2, Carlos Alcaraz’s father was caught filming one of Novak Djokovic’s training sessions at Wimbledon.
Novak Djokovic indeed complained about the lack of privacy during some training sessions. He said: “That’s the situation we are all in, the circumstances are such that we don’t have privacy in training, although sometimes I would like to have more privacy.
Then it gives me more opportunities to try some things, to communicate more clearly with my team. “The fact is that you are not completely relaxed in training. You know your rivals are there, you know everyone is looking over your shoulder at what’s going on, what you’re working on.
Every shot is measured, evaluated and assessed. That, through some analysis, affects the eventual meeting with Alcaraz or anyone tomorrow. Concentration is required. For me, training is like a match. I bring that intensity to training as well.”
