Spanish Tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, who is just 20 years old had defeated four-times defending champion Novak Djokovic, to win his maiden title at the championships.

Big B showered praises on Carlos, calling him a wonderful player. “Though my favourite player is Novak Djokovic. I like him a lot, and watch his matches. I had seen this match and French Open both,” he shared.
