I’ll be following Carlos’ career for the next 10-12 years just like I did with Roger Federer, says Sachin Tendulkar after epic Wimbledon final

I've never faced a player like Alcaraz, says beaten Djokovic

The 50-year-old spoke highly of Djokovic as well, who gave Alcaraz a tough run for his money right until the very end. Djokovic took the lead in the first set but went down in the following couple of ones.

However, he struck back with a fine comeback in the fourth set just when it appeared that Alcaraz might be running away with the game. The final set was a much closer affair, where Djokovic looked like being in the pole position until he squandered a fairly straightforward break point, which handed the momentum over to Alcaraz.

Even before the result was declared, Tendulkar tweeted, “Mental toughness = Novak Djokovic. Despite having issues with his body, the mind continues to push him forward. What a player! #Wimbledon.”
