All England Lawn Tennis Club: Legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, who is celebrating his 76th birthday on Thursday, drew a similarity between tennis star Carlos Alcaraz and swashbuckling batter Rishab Pant, saying that both are showmen and unexpected in their respective games.

In the ongoing grass court major, Alcaraz outclassed Cameron Norrie to progress to the semis where he will face American Taylor Fritz on Friday. On the other hand, Pant has been on song in the ongoing Test series against England. He became the first Indian wicketkeeper-batter to score a century in both innings of a Test in England.

Speaking about his regular visits to Wimbledon and favourite tennis players, Gavaskar said on Star Sports, "Every time I am in England around this time, I go to Wimbledon, but I hardly go to Lord’s if India isn't playing there. So yes, one could say that I come here more often than I go to Lord’s. I would like Djokovic to win because it would be his 25th Grand Slam title. Nobody has ever won 25 majors, so that would be fantastic. My heart says Djokovic, but I guess my mind says Alcaraz. Also, Alcaraz, simply because I think Sinner is injured. Whether he's going to be 100% for the remainder of the tournament, we don't know.”
