Speaking to JioStar, Abhishek Sharma shared his experience of watching the Wimbledon 2026 Final: “It was actually one of my dreams to come to Wimbledon. And to be here on finals day makes it even more special. I am just going to enjoy the match and soak it all in. I always looked up to Rafael Nadal. He is a lefty like me, and one of the most successful left-handed players in tennis history. His work ethic, his attitude, and the way he dominated the sport for so many years – he is definitely someone I admire.”
On the impact of Alcaraz and Sinner: I really admire Alcaraz and Sinner among the current generation of stars, without a doubt. The way they are playing right now, they are dominating the sport. That is exactly what I want to do in cricket. Watching them is lovely, and it inspires young cricketers like me. I think it inspires youngsters across all sports. That is what brings us here.”
