Heads and tails for Alcaraz and Djokovic in Wimbledon draw

The raffle of Wimbledon 2023 promised intense emotions, and did not disappoint. Carlos Alcaraz was not accompanied by luck, who will have a very difficult team in his third participation in the London Grand Slam.

The Murcian will make his debut, on Tuesday 4, against French veteran Jeremy Chardy. In the second round he will face the winner of the duel between two other Frenchmen, Arthur Rinderknech and Alexandre Muller, and in the third round possibly against the Chilean Nicolás Jarry.

In the second week Alexander Zverev and Alex de Miñaur will appear in his path as possible rivals in the round of 16 and Holger Rune, Frances Tiafoe or Grigor Dimitrov in the quarterfinals. The hypothetical semifinal was against Daniil Medvedev before the last everyone expected against Novak Djokovic.
