Kohli Watches Wimbledon Live
Virat Kohli watched the Wimbledon contest between Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur. The contest was held on Monday at Centre Court in London. Kohli gave his views after the contest to a sports channel.
Wimbledon Matches Have High-Level Pressure
Kohli informed that Wimbledon matches are accompanied by extreme pressure. He drew an analogy between the experience and playing high-pressure cricket matches, including India vs. Pakistan during the World Cup. In his view, each Wimbledon match is accompanied by the same level of intensity. He mentioned that Centre Court is tougher than a packed cricket stadium.
Kohli on RCB's Victory and Recent Tragedy
Kohli’s remarks came shortly after Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their first IPL title. During the victory celebrations in Bengaluru, a tragic stampede occurred. The incident led to 11 deaths. Kohli was recently seen in public again after the event.
Tennis Players Face Constant Crowd Pressure
Kohli described a primary distinction between tennis and cricket. In cricket, spectators are very distant from most players. Only fielders at the boundary are close to the audience. Unlike this, players in tennis play very close to the spectators. This brings more pressure to them.
Respect for Tennis Players' Fitness and Focus
Kohli appreciated tennis players for being physically and mentally fit. He added that he has immense respect for their performance while being under pressure all the time. In cricket, pressure is at its height during India-Pakistan World Cup matches, according to him. Players even feel their legs tremble. But tennis players endure the same pressure from quarter-finals to the final.
