Spain Carlos Alcaraz and Serbio Novak Djokovic led this Thursday the central track of Wimbledon, in a session where they played a set that ended at 5-5.
The seven -hour champion was the first to jump on the track, which Alcaraz was involved in, winning the last two editions, and his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, was shocked by the track of the track, which had not been used until Thursday.
“Total premiere, huh?” Ferrero told Jamie Delgado, former president of Andy Murray and Grigor Dimitrov and is now working in the contest.
The training was carried out along with the ceiling closed with a slight rainfall that fell outside and that, for example, stopped contention of the previous stage in Roehampton.
After a short ball, Djokovic and Alcaraz played a practice set where they finished 5-5 after only more than half an hour of play and that only allowed the organization to allow these sessions, acclimatization so that the track was not slippery in the first days, they lasted 45 minutes.
As an anecdote of training, Alcaraz connected a ‘passing shot’ upside down with one hand after he apologized to Serbian for the “luck” he had. “I closed my eyes and it came out like this,” he told Belgrade.
Before, the new track manages and weeds the grass were four club members invited to play a mixture -a double match on the weekend before the contest. For a few years and due to the slippery thing in the early days, the All England Club allows the best in the world to release the track.
