Former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli recently drew intriguing parallels between the intense pressure faced by tennis players and cricketers during high-stakes matches. Speaking after attending Wimbledon with his wife, actress Anushka Sharma, Kohli shared his insights in a conversation with tennis legend Vijay Amritraj. He highlighted the unique challenges athletes face in both sports, particularly focusing on the mental and physical demands. Kohli noted that while tennis players endure pressure consistently from quarterfinals to finals, cricketers experience similar stress during World Cup knockouts or matches against rivals like Pakistan. He emphasized the respect he holds for tennis players who maintain composure and fitness under such conditions. Kohli, who retired from T20 Internationals and Tests, reflected on his cricket career, acknowledging the evolving nature of the sport and the challenges it presents. He explained that cricket requires patience as players wait for their turn to bat, often facing unpredictable game situations. In contrast, tennis offers more structured conditions, allowing players to anticipate what lies ahead. Kohli also pointed out that cricket offers fewer opportunities for comebacks compared to tennis, where players can recover even after losing sets. Discussing the atmosphere at Wimbledon, Kohli remarked on the intimidating proximity of the crowd at Centre Court compared to cricket stadiums. He suggested that this closeness adds an extra layer of pressure for tennis players. Kohli expressed his support for Novak Djokovic, hoping the Serbian star wins his 25th Grand Slam at Wimbledon. He shared his admiration for Djokovic’s career and expressed a desire to see a final between Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. Kohli believes a victory for Djokovic would solidify his status as one of the greatest in tennis history.
