Since this is an issue that is out of their hands, they prepare themselves for any scenario. “We have been playing indoors for the entire tournament, so if that is the case, we will try to adapt as quickly as possible,” explained Ferrero. “I adapt to whatever is needed, no problem. And in this tournament I’ve played with a ceiling a few timesAlcaraz emphasized
“Last year he seemed a bit uncomfortable in the air. Djokovic was a bit uncomfortable when it came to playing the ball very cleanly. Indoors, no, everything was fine for him. Yes, I think it’s better to play without a cover to Carlos”, review Juan Carlos Ferrero
The forecast came true this Sunday at Wimbledon. Cloudy skies, with several periods of sun and, above all, no rain, were announced, which will reappear this Monday after an edition that has faced meteorological difficulties almost every day. And the wind blew
Good news for Alcaraz. The Murcian can be said won the first match Novak Djokovic before starting the final

“I see a lot of similarities between him and me“Djokovic asserted. “In how we adapt and adjust to the surface. This is one of his best qualities, he can play evenly on any court and adapt to any opponent. He will win many Grand Slams in his career, but I hope to win this one. After this, I will encourage him.”
“People should know that this is something very difficult.“explains Juan Carlos Ferrero. “That’s why there’s so much admiration for Rafa, Novak, Roger, for everything they’ve done over the years. We’re experiencing it now and it’s something surprising even for the team, because we know more than anyone how difficult it is.”
For Alcaraz, this could be the ‘Channel Slam’ victorywin Roland Garros and Wimbledon, something only five men in history have achieved: Rod Laver (1969), Bjorn Borg (1978, 1979, and 1980), Rafael Nadal (2008 and 2010), Roger Federer (2009) and Novak Djokovic (2021)
He will have a chance not only to avenge what happened in 2023, but He can also match Roger Federer’s eight Wimbledon winsthe man with the most in history, and will raise the Grand Slams barrier to 25, one more than Margaret Court, who scored 24 between the Amateur Era and the Open Era
“Wimbledon brings out the best in me and motivates me to play to the best of my ability. This is what happened in 2018, when at the beginning of the year I underwent elbow surgery and came out of the top twenty, lost in the round of 16 in Australia, in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros and was not playing the tennis I wanted. “Then I won Wimbledon and then the US Open and I became number one,” the Serbian revealed.
The Serbian ends 2023 warning that he wants to win four Grand Slams in the same year, as only Rod Laver has done so in the men’s Open Era, but this Sunday will be his first finals of the year. Wimbledon, like many other opportunities, serves as a boon for Djokovic
He performed rehabilitation and recovery in record time,”I don’t want to deal with missing Wimbledon”, he said upon his arrival at the All England Club, and three weeks after testing himself in practice he was ready for his tenth final at the Cathedral, number 37 in total Grand Slams.
“They were probably the weakest first six months of the year I’ve ever experienced.“Admitted Djokovic, who hasn’t beaten a ‘top ten’ player since the final in Turin against Jannik Sinner in November last year.
The Spanish is no longer an ‘outsider’, From being a surprise last year, he has become a favorite this year. Partly because of his status as reigning champion and recent Roland Garros winner and also because of Djokovic’s knee problems. The Serbian tore his meniscus in the round of 16 at Roland Garros and underwent surgery on June 5 in the capital Paris.
“What he has achieved at his age is amazing,” Djokovic said., who praised the Spaniard and said he was “the best in history at 21 years old.” That victory, the most important of Alcaraz’s career, given the rival and the situation, was the Murcian’s last match against Djokovic. Then came the loss in the final of the 1,000 Masters in Cincinnati, in one of the best three-set matches in memory, and the loss in the semifinals of the ATP Finals, in the worst conditions for the Spaniard, indoors and mentally and physically. physically tired after a full year of competition
It’s been a year since Carlos Alcaraz made a winning comeback to take the second set of the final with Novak Djokovic. A year since he decided that, at 0-15 and serving for the championship, the best option was to throw a dropshot at one of the fastest and most resilient men in the world. A year since a hit into the Serbian net gave Carlos Alcaraz his first Wimbledon
