"I really hope he plays Carlos in the final-and wins" - Virat Kohli

"Look, I've been in touch with Novak for a while now. We've exchanged some messages. He's been incredibly gracious and kind to stay in touch. So, I'd say I want Novak and Carlos to be in the final, and ideally for Novak to win this one-because that would be a tremendous achievement for him at this stage of his career," Virat said.

"And, you know, in the comparison or conversation about being the greatest of all time, he'd be right up there with anyone else-if not number one-with the maximum number of Grand Slam titles. He deserves it. Given the amount of hard work he's put in, I really hope he plays Carlos in the final-and wins," Kohli added.

In the Women's division, he felt Sabalenka would be the favorite to win.

"Sabalenka, obviously, the world number one. She seems like she's the favourite now. She's very difficult to beat, and she's got the game, she's got the aggression as well, so I think she's going to be tough to put away," Virat said.
