Carlos Alcaraz faced an unexpected reaction from the Wimbledon crowd after his victory over Daniil Medvedev. The young Spaniard brought up the upcoming Euro 2024 final between England and Spain during his post-match interview, which led to a chorus of jeers from the audience. Alcaraz had just secured his place in the Wimbledon final and mentioned the Euro 2024 final, saying, “It’s going to be a really good day for Spanish people as well because of the Euros final!” This comment did not sit well with the predominantly English crowd.
Realizing the reaction, Alcaraz quickly clarified, “I didn’t say Spain are going to win! I’m just saying it’s going to be a really fun day! It’s going to be a really difficult match.” Despite the boos, he remained focused on his upcoming final and expressed his excitement for the match, whether his opponent would be Novak Djokovic or Lorenzo Musetti. Alcaraz acknowledged the skill of both potential opponents, stating, “Lorenzo and Novak are playing great tennis. I’m going to watch the match. Let’s see who I’m going to play on Sunday.”
Reflecting on his semi-final performance, Alcaraz admitted to initial nerves but managed to turn the game in his favor. “I was really, really nervous at the start,” he confessed. “He was dominating the match, playing great tennis with his serve and his return game. It was difficult for me. I tried to put out all the nerves at the beginning of the second set. It was really helpful to be up 3-1 and after that I could play my own game, I could enjoy myself. In general, I think I played a really good match.” The Wimbledon final and the Euro 2024 final promise an exciting Sunday for tennis and football fans alike.
