There's no time to be afraid, no time to be tired - Carlos Alcaraz on match with Novak Djokovic
Meanwhile, the young Spaniard accepted the pressure of facing the modern-day tennis legend in the highly anticipated final of the Wimbledon 2023. “I believe I can beat Djokovic; everyone knows the legend he is. I will fight. I will believe in myself. There's no time to be afraid, no time to be tired,” said Alcaraz ahead of the final clash against the Serb.
Apart from this, Djokovic also spoke about hindrance in the match by a code violation handed to him by umpire Richard Haigh for taking too much time between the points. "The hindrance early on in the match could have changed the course of the match. I felt nervous after that call, but I managed to re-group," said the 36-year-old.
"It's probably the first time it's happened to me, I don't normally have extended grunts. Maybe it was an echo in the roof. It was a call that I have to respect,” he added.
