The young Spaniard from the tennis world, Carlos Alcaraz, has made everyone fall in love with his own court displays. Not only is the general audience his fans, but also super stars from other sports are in awe of Alcaraz’s game.

They take their time out and come and watch his matches and keep track of the young sensation’s progress. NBA Star Jimmy Butler is the latest member to join the Alcaraz fan club. Wimbledon recently posted on their Instagram page a reel that has got every tennis fan hooked on it.

The reel shows Jimmy Butler going bananas on a point played by Carlos Alcaraz against Daniil Medvedev in his semi-final match. Butler can be seen thoroughly enjoying as Alcaraz hits a classic forehand reach cross-court winner to steal the point from the Russian.

The NBA Star is constantly cheering Alcaraz during the point, almost as if he is doing the commentary for it. “We get to everything,” is what he says, which has made fans fall in love with the video. Butler was also seen at the All England Club at this year’s Championships in Alcaraz’s quarterfinal match. He had earlier teased the tennis fans about being there. However, he stuck to his promise and came to the match, cheering with high intensity.

Novak Djokovic holds a stupendous record of winning seven out of the eight Wimbledon finals he has played at the Championships over the years. The only loss came to Andy Murray in 2013. He has defeated Wimbledon great Roger Federer in three separate finals over here. He is also on a four-consecutive title-win streak at the event. This time, he is coming up against a young gun from Spain.

Carlos Alcaraz is having a phenomenal time on the tour and is staying at the top of the rankings chart. However, Djokovic will be a stiff challenge. The pair met last month in Paris, where Alcaraz limped off the court when he lost in four sets. He would want to reverse the result and lift his second Grand Slam. Can he do it against one of the greatest of all time?
