Novak Djokovic's kids Stefan and Tara had a great time interacting with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz during his practice session at SW19. The interaction warmed the hearts of fans on social media, who were left amused after seeing pictures of Alcaraz with the Serb's family.

Stefan and Tara have been present frequently in the player's box during the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, along with their mother, Jelena, supporting the 37-year-old. The duo was also spotted playing a friendly doubles match with their father at the practice courts ahead of his 2024 Wimbledon semifinal match.

Following this, Stefan and Tara were pictured with Carlos Alcaraz during his practice session ahead of the semifinal clash. Watch the pictures below:

The image later caught the attention of fans on Reddit, with some humorously drawing a comparison between Carlos Alcaraz's age and that of Djokovic's children.

"Alcaraz is closer in age to Stefan and Tara than he is to dad Novak. Of course he’s gonna hang out with the kids. He is one himself!" One fan wrote.

"Same age group," a fan commented.
"His son was a Nadal superfan until Alcaraz came along. Then he switched," another wrote.

One fan speculated about a prospective Wimbledon final match between Carlos Alcaraz and Stefan Djokovic and wrote:

"This pic going to be all over Wimby 2035 where Stefan takes Centre Court to defend against Carlos going for dad's records."
"Can already imagine the flashback photos on tennis TV when Stefan Djokovic plays Carlos Alcaraz for the first time. Low chance, but calling it now," another chimed in.
"Love that Carlos is so humble," a fan heaped praise at Alcaraz.

Novak Djokovic is set to face Italy's Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals of the grasscourt Major. The Serb has shown sublime form at Wimbledon 2024 despite missing the lead-up tournaments due to a knee injury.

The Serb is on a quest for his 25th Grand Slam title at the tournament. He defeated Vit Kopriva, Jacob Fearnley, Alexei Popyrin, and Holger Rune before advancing to the semifinals via a walkover from Alex de Minaur, who withdrew due to a hip injury. Djokovic holds a 5-1 head-to-head advantage over Musetti having won their most recent encounter at the 2024 French Open.

Alcaraz, on the other hand, is set to face Daniil Medvedev in a rematch of last year's Wimbledon semifinal, which the Spaniard won. The 21-year-old leads their head-to-head 4-2, having most recently triumphed in the final of this season's BNP Paribas Open.
