"I think Kyrgios has more chance": Alcaraz believes only Aussie ace can trouble Djokovic at Wimbledon as he rules himself out
ATP
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."

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
