Tennis star Carlos Alcaraz left the entire Wimbledon audience in stitches with his reply to a question about former foe Andy Murray.

After a week of action in SW19, the second week of Wimbledon gets underway on Monday afternoon, with several of the biggest stars in the tennis set to compete.

Seven-time Wimbledon winner Novak Djokovic will face Australia's Alex de Minaur on centre court before current world number one Jannik Sinner faces Grigor Dimitrov, with the winners of each making it to the quarter-finals.

Following a gruelling win over Russia's Andrey Rublev on Sunday, current favourite Alcaraz secured his spot in the next round, where he will face British star Cameron Norrie.

Throughout the competition so far, Alcaraz has joked with the media about his ongoing golf tournament with tennis legend Andy Murray.

Following his third round win over Jan-Lennard Struff, the 22-year-old revealed that he and Murray were currently tied up after the Scotsman won their first outing before Alcaraz claimed his revenge in the second.

Later, Murray took to X to tease fans about the outcome of their latest golf outing, suggesting that the media should ask his rival how it went after his match against Rublev.

And that is exactly what on-court interviewer Rishi Persad decided to do on Sunday afternoon, and Alcaraz's response has gone viral online.

Persad asked, "I know a couple of nights ago you were kind enough to let us know how your ongoing battle with Andy Murray has been at golf. You said it was 1-1 after the first two games of golf, Andy Murray says the decider took place yesterday, what happened?"

Immediately, Alcaraz and the audience at centre court began laughing, as the Spaniard replied: "He said that? I didn't remember playing any match yesterday?"

Before ultimately confessing: "Yeah, I mean, I had to show up. I have to say, he beat me so I just - yeah. We are playing in his home so it would be really bad for him, you know, if I beat him so I let him win once.

"But yeah, I lost against him as a player, as a coach, on the golf course, so I'm not going to play against him any more!"

Alcaraz will face Norrie in his next match at Wimbledon, with the meeting set to take place around 14:40pm on Tuesday on centre court.

The winner of the match will progress to the semi-finals, where they will face either Karen Khachanov or Taylor Fritz.
