Carlos Alcaraz Breaks Silence on ‘Spygate’ Incident with Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon 2023
Following Djokovic’s victory against Andrey Rublev at Wimbledon 2023, the attention turned to Alcaraz as he took the opportunity to address the ‘Spygate’ controversy. With regards to the incident where his father was accused of filming Djokovic during a training session, Alcaraz seized the opportunity to provide his perspective and clear the air on the matter.
“My father is a huge fan of tennis. He doesn’t only watch my matches. I think he gets into the club at 11 a.m., gets out at 10 p.m., watching matches, watching practice from everyone, being able to watch Djokovic in real life, yeah, probably it is true he’s filmed the sessions” Alcaraz admitted.
However, he doesn’t consider that benefits him. “I don’t think so. I mean, I have a lot of videos from Djokovic on every platform. I think it’s not an advantage for me”, Alcaraz said when asked about a potential boost with this potentially helpful material.
