Serbian Tennis star Novak Djokovic and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz were seen hitting some really crisp shots as the decorated pair were seen practising against one another on the Centre Court ahead of the upcoming edition. A video of the same was uploaded by Wimbledon's official social media handle as the two gear up for the grand slam challenge.
Djokovic and Alcaraz had battled in the Wimbledon 2024 final and the latter had crushed the veteran 6-2, 6-2, 7-6. However, Djokovic hit back during the Olympics, clinching the gold by beating Alcaraz in the final. Nevertheless, Alcaraz is also coming off a French Open win, making him one of the firm favourites to emerge victorious in the Wimbledon again.

"I guess my best chances maybe are Wimbledon" - Novak Djokovic
Following the semi-final defeat the Roland Garros 2025, Djokovic strongly hinted at having played his final French Open edition. However, the Serbian said he will do everything possible to be ready for Wimbledon. The 38-year-old had said, as quoted by BBC Sport:
"Those tournaments are the priorities of my schedule. Wimbledon and US Open, yes, they are in plans. That's all I can say right now. I feel like I want to play those two, for sure. For the rest, I'm not so sure. Wimbledon is my childhood favourite tournament. I'm going to do everything possible to get myself ready. I guess my best chances maybe are Wimbledon, you know, to win another Slam or maybe Australia."
