Following his success at the Australian Open and Roland Garros earlier, he will be the biggest bet at the Championship this year. Carlos Alcaraz has emerged as the new show-stopper on the stage and could be pitted against the current World number 1. Alcaraz couldn't get the better of Djokovic when the two met at the French Open and also believes Nick Kyrgios has a better chance than him to defeat Djokovic on a grass court.

“Kyrgios has already played a final in Wimbledon and he’s very good on grass as well,” he said.

“I am not saying that I am not capable of beating Djokovic, but I think I have less chances than on other surfaces.

“I think that Kyrgios has more chance to defeat Djokovic than any other player.”

The 20-year-old further insisted he doesn't have that much experience on the surface and Djokovic alongside Federer are two of the greatest players ever to grace to grass court.

“And obviously [Novak] Djokovic, together with [Roger] Federer, is one of the greatest players ever seen on a grass court."
