Carlos Alcaraz has delivered a candid response to reporters after his quarter-final win at Wimbledon, having been caught up in a bizarre spying scandal involving Novak Djokovic. Spain’s World No.1 booked a spot in his first ever semi-final at The All England Club after an impressive straight-sets win over fellow young gun Holger Rune.
The 20-year-old set up a last-four showdown against Daniil Medvdev with a 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 6-4 trouncing of the Dane, before having to answers questions about his father secretly filming Djokovic’s practice session. Dubbed ‘Spygate’ across the English press, Alcaraz’s father Carlos was reportedly spotted recording Djokovic while the seven-time champion was training at Wimbledon’s Aorangi Park.
Carlos is a regular member of his son’s entourage and according to his son, a “huge fan of tennis”. When quizzed about his father filming Djokovic at practice, Alcaraz – who is on track to meet the World No.2 in the final – didn’t seem overly surprised or concerned.
