Mumbai: On Monday, on his ex account, the actor expressed his disappointment but also praised Alkaraj’s brilliant performance.
In his post, the veteran actor wrote, “Spain will be celebrating tonight. Alcaraz from Spain won Wimbledon; and Spain beat England 2-1 to win Euro 24. My favourite Djokovic lost so that was disappointing.. but he lost to Carlos Alcaraz, a talented young player.. but generous in defeat.”
On Sunday, Alcaraz won his second consecutive Wimbledon title by defeating Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4) at Centre Court in London.
Recalling the Wimbledon 2024 final, the Spanish tennis player started well and took control of the match to win the set 6-2 against the Serbian player.
The first set was a one-sided one as Alcaraz got a double break and it ended in 41 minutes.
Alcaraz maintained his rhythm and won the second set 6-2. Djokovic struggled in the second set and failed to make a comeback.
Djokovic started well in the third set and gave his opponent a tough fight, but the Spaniard fought back hard and took the match to a tiebreaker.
Alcaraz kept his composure and won the tiebreak 7-4. The Spaniard dominated the game from the very first moment and won the Wimbledon 2024 final in three consecutive sets.
Apart from Amitabh, several other celebrities including Kiara Advani, Sidharth Malhotra and Kareena Kapoor congratulated Carlos Alcaraz on his big win.
Talking about work, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Nag Ashwin’s film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ alongside Deepika Padukone, Prabhas and Kamal Haasan. Now he is preparing to make his Tamil film debut with ‘Vettaiyan’.
