"He just has to take it down a notch and chill out": Wilander gives Alcaraz advice to not overthink 'mouthwatering' Djokovic Wimbledon final

Carlos Alcaraz will face Novak Djokovic in a dream final at Wimbledon on Sunday afternoon with the World No.1 aiming to do the unthinkable and beat the unbeatable Novak Djokovic at SW19.
Mats Wilander spoke to Eurosport and gave Alcaraz some advice mainly related to their match at Roland Garros when he cramped at a winning position.
He believes that he shouldn't overthink the tie and let the fact it is a final take over against the Serbian ace.
"It is a dream final," Wilander said at SW19 as he looked ahead to the highly anticipated head-to-head battle.
"We obviously had a lot of dream finals with Federer and Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, and Djokovic and Nadal, but it has been a while since we have had that kind of clash.
"For me, these are the two best players in the world, and they are quite different in the way they play – you have an aggressive player in Carlos and then Novak's defensive skills on the grass court
"It is going to be absolutely mouthwatering and as exciting as you are going to get watching a tennis match. The anticipation is so high. I am excited.
"In Paris, I would say he was too prepared and started thinking about it as soon as he won in the quarters. It seems like he started thinking about it too early, and we heard that from one of his coaches.
"I think he just has to take it down a notch and chill out, which is not easy, to not be thinking about the final. He needs to work on things that might help him, but he just has to go through regular preparations, and he should be okay.
"He needs to not think about the final too much, and I think he learnt so much from their match in Paris."
