Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will take on each other in the Wimbledon Final for the second time on the trot.
Team India skipper Rohit Sharma hesitated to pick his winner between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic at the Wimbledon 2024 Final. Rohit was in attendance for the semifinal match between the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev at the Centre Court of the Wimbledon.
Spainish star Alcaraz continued his fine Wimbledon-run as he advanced to the second successive final with a four-set win against Medvedev of Russia at the prestigious Grand Slam tournament. Later in the day, the seven-time champion Novak Djokovic defeated Lorenzo Musetti of Italian in three straight sets to advance to the 10th Wimbledon Final of his illustrious career.
Speaking on Star Sports, Rohit Sharma revealed that he is a big tennis fan and that being in London gave him a good opportunity to watch the semifinals. Team India skipper refused to pick his winner of Wimbledon Final, citing his past experiences where people pick their names and sides.
“I’m a big tennis fan. Since I was in London, it was a good opportunity for me to catch up on the semifinals and I was lucky enough to get in there to watch an exciting game.” Rohit said.
“It’s going to be Alcaraz and Djokovic that’s my guess. I’m not going to say who is going to win but I would say may the best player win. I don’t want to pick sides because I myself have been in that position before where people are picking names or sides. So, I would say may the best player win.” he added.
