Former second racket of the world among juniors Anastasia Pivovarova called Spaniard Carlos Alcaras a worthy Wimbledon champion.
Alcaraz beat Serbian Novak Djokovic in a five-set confrontation in the Wimbledon final in 4 hours and 42 minutes – 1:6, 7:6 (8:6), 6:1, 3:6, 6:4.
“The finale between Alcaraz and Djokovic was absolutely phenomenal and I didn’t want it to end and Djokovic to lose his dream. At the same time, I didn’t want to cheer against Alcaraz, because he is a really worthy champion. He ended the match by taking the initiative into his own hands.
At the age of 20, this athlete turned out to be very wise in making decisions and was not afraid to put an end to the game against Djokovic, who simply tore and threw to win the calendar Grand Slam, Gazeta.Ru quotes Pivovarova.
The win was Alcaraz’s first at Wimbledon and second at a Grand Slam, having previously won the US Open in 2022.
