Carlos Alcaraz reveals Andy Murray's role in his Wimbledon title defence
@Source: mirror.co.uk
Carlos Alcaraz needs no advice on how to walk away from Wimbledon as a winner. The Spaniard has won the last two men’s singles titles in SW19 - and will be aiming to make it a three-peat this summer. But one man who he will be keen to get some words of wisdom from is legendary ex-tennis star Andy Murray . The 38-year-old claimed the trophy in 2013 and 2016. And while the pair could potentially share stories of their own Wimbledon successes, it appears they are more keen on focusing on a different sport with plans to meet up ahead of the latest edition of the tournament. Asked what he does ahead of major Grand Slam events, Alcaraz replied: "I play some golf . I play some golf. Actually, I play with Andy Murray on Monday and a few more players. “Just went to the center a little bit. Just wanted to go to the center a little bit, walk around, have a good food, and just having quality time with them doing some stuff that probably I wouldn't be able to do it while the tournament is on.” And while Murray and Alcaraz may not exchange tips regarding Wimbledon, the same might not be said of Murray and fellow Brit Jack Draper. Nick Kyrgios believes Murray could have a big role to play in his pursuit of a Grand Slam title. Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “Draper’s an amazing player, great athlete, big lefty, and I think he’s got more than enough game to win a Grand Slam, that’s for sure. “You know, he’s super, super dialled in now, super professional. And I think Andy Murray’s going to play a big part in helping him get over the line. And I think, yeah, I think Draper could definitely be winning Grand Slam soon.” Who will win the Wimbledon men's singles title?

He added: “Well, yeah, I mean, I'm coming here thinking that, yeah, I really want to win the title. “I really want to lift the trophy. Not thinking about how much player have done it, you know, winning three Wimbledons in a row. “I'm just thinking about, okay, I just want to be ready and just want to prepare myself in the best way possible, just to start the tournament with a lot of confident. Obviously I feel a lot of confident right now (smiling). “But just thinking about still going forward, it's still doing the good things, and start the tournament. So two weeks could be really long on a Grand Slam, but right now I'm not thinking about who I could join if I win three Wimbledons in a row.”
