Carlos Alcaraz has shot to worldwide fame after defeating Novak Djokovic in a thrilling match in the Wimbledon finals on Sunday. He won his first Wimbledon title, despite the Serbian maestro winning comfortably in the first set.
However, World No. 1 Alcaraz showed his determination and fought back against Djokovic – widely considered the favourite in the finals – and won the match after the tie-breakers with figures of 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4.
As a result of his newfound fame, Alcaraz has found lots of fans in India as well. Those fans have uncovered a video of an old match, where the Spanish star is being compared to another sportsperson closer to home – Virat Kohli!
In the footage, which is from an old match between Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alcaraz outmanoeuvres the Greek player with a drop shot towards the net.
Appreciating the ingenious move, the commentator says, “It’s like watching Virat Kohli in cricket or Michael Jordan.”
“Really, it’s that special,” his fellow commentator says, before adding, “So good! All you can do is smile.”
Tsitsipas – who has been ranked as high as No. 3 in the World rankings – has lost each of his five matches against Alcaraz.
The old video, which has gone viral on Twitter, has sent Virat Kohli fans into a frenzy. Kohli was compared to not just Alcaraz but Michael Jordan, who is widely considered to be the best basketball player of all time.
His fans have taken to Twitter to post congratulatory messages for Kohli. One fan wrote, “Cricket is famous because of Virat Kohli”, while another said, “King Kohli is the face of World Cricket”.
Other fans just wrote ‘WE LOVE YOU KOHLI’ – which was trending on Twitter.
