Carlos Alcaraz doesn't think he has the best odds of beating Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon naming Nick Kyrgios as the player most likely to beat the Serbian.

Beating Djokovic at Wimbledon is very tough as the Serbian already has 7 grand slam trophies won at the event. He also won the previous four editions of Wimbledon so breaking up that dominance will certainly take quite a good effort. It's, even more, crazier because Andy Murray will be the only player in the Wimbledon draw to have ever beaten the Serbian on a grass court.

That's incredible and Alcaraz doesn't think that he has a great chance of doing so. He believes in himself but realistically, it's not very likely to happen, especially not after Djokovic beat him at Roland Garros recently on a surface that should favour Alcaraz more:

"Well I think I have said that I can win any tournament that I play. Obviously, on grass it is a bit more complicated as I dont have a lot of experience and in the matches that I played I struggled a bit. And obviously [Novak] Djokovic, together with [Roger] Federer is one of the greatest players ever seen on a grass court. So it's going to be complicated.

Picks Nick Kyrgios

Alcaraz does think that a specific player has a chance and that's Nick Kyrgios. The Australian made his was to the Wimbledon final last year but couldn't get it done. This year will be even tougher but Alcaraz does think he has the best chance out of all the field:

"[Nick] Kyrgios has played a final in Wimbledon and he is very good on grass as well. I'm not saying I am not capable of beating Djokovic, but I have less chances than on other surfaces. I think Kyrgios has more chance to defeat Djokovic than any other player."
