Tennis pro Carlos Alcaraz confirmed reports that his father was filming Novak Djokovic during a training session at the All England Club on Monday but said it offered him no advantage.
Top-ranked men’s tennis player Carlos Alcaraz admitted Wednesday that his father likely was filming defendingduring a training session this week, as was alleged by Serbian media, but he said the intentions behind the recordings weren’t malicious.
"That's the situation we are all in, the circumstances are such that we don't have privacy in training, although sometimes I would like to have more privacy," Djokovic said in response, according to the outlet."The fact is that you are not completely relaxed in training. You know your rivals are there, you know everyone is looking over your shoulder at what's going on, what you're working on. Every shot is measured, evaluated and assessed.
He continued,"Being able to watch Djokovic in real life, yeah, probably it is true he’s filmed the sessions." The practice courts at Wimbledon are accessible to reporters and a limited number of fans. Players also practice on adjacent courts that have no walls or barriers between them.
