“I personally want Alcaraz to win because I feel that the way he plays is very much like how we (the Indian men’s cricket team) play. It’s a bit quick. Whenever there’s a gap, we try to hit it. We don’t show that much patience. So that is with Alcaraz,” Ishan said.
“I’m supporting Iceman (Novak Djokovic),” Arshdeep replied.
