new era set to dawn at wimbledon as injury doubt looms over novak djokovic

Carlos Alcaraz will defend his Wimbledo n men's title from Monday with his main rival likely to be world number one Jannik Sinner rather than Novak Djokovic .

Victory for the 21-year-old Spanish crowd-pleaser will give him back-to-back Grand Slam crowns after his French Open triumph and a fourth major.

Djokovic, the seven-time champion, is an injury doubt as is 2013 and 2016 winner Andy Murray .

AFP Sport looks at three talking points ahead of the tournament which starts at the All England Club on Monday.

Sun setting on golden generation?

Eight-time champion Roger Federer is retired, Rafael Nadal , a two-time winner, is sitting out the tournament to focus on the Olympics, seven-time champion Djokovic has just undergone knee surgery while Murray, who lifted the Wimbledon trophy in 2013 and 2016, has had a back operation.
