Alcaraz and Djokovic had the privilege of stepping together onto the legendary grass of Wimbledon just days before the tournament begins. Normally off-limits to protect the surface ahead of the first matches, the two players were able to hit balls for a full 45 minutes on Centre Court.
With his usual humor, the Serb didn’t hesitate to speak in front of one of the cameras by the court:

"We’re privileged to be the first to play on this court. I’m privileged because he’s the defending champion—he has the right, while I’m just a sparring partner today. So I’m glad he chose me (laughs)."
As for their first-round matches, Alcaraz will kick things off against Fognini. Djokovic, meanwhile, will face the Frenchman Müller.
