"Can hurt you so many different ways": Annacone sees one player in particular as biggest Wimbledon threat to Djokovic

The coach Paul Annacone chose Carlos Alcaraz as the biggest threat to Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon 2023.
Former coach of Pete Sampras and Roger Federer analyzed the possibilities of someone being able to defeat Novak Djokovic during the upcoming Wimbledon. The Serbian player is the main favorite, in a scenario where he has been champion seven times, including the last four consecutively.
The absence of Nadal and Federer, and the opportunity to further increase his lead as the player with the most Grand Slam titles, seem to be factors that make 'Nole' almost unstoppable at Wimbledon.
“Well the question is, can anyone knock off Novak, right? That’s the question. A lot’s going to depend on the draw and style matchups,” said Annacone.
“I still think the best player just to take Novak out is a guy named ‘Carlitos’ Alcaraz. Just because he can hurt you so many different ways. I think on a grass court, there’s a lot of people that can create the opportunity,” he added.

“But to do it three out of five sets in a major is such a difficult question. I think Alcaraz has the best shot at just taking Novak out for me.”
“If it’s going to be a new face at the end of the tournament, at that tournament, more than any tournament on the planet, it’s gonna be about who manages the situation. It’s not gonna just be about forehands and backhands.
“It’s about walking under the archway, Centre Court at Wimbledon, and understanding what you have to do [in the] semis and finals. That is a different time to play tennis,” Annacone concluded.
