WHAT SAKA SAID
Posting on his Instagram, Saka said: "Pleasure to meet you. Good luck with the rest of the tournament."
The pair may well have chatted about last year's European Championship final, when Alcaraz's native Spain got the better of Saka's England on the same day the tennis star won his second Wimbledon title.
