Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz outclassed veteran Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) to claim his second consecutive Wimbledon men's singles title on Sunday.
In a post-match interview, the 21-year-old revealed plans to watch the Euro Cup football final between Spain and England with his team. Despite being booed by fans during the Wimbledon, Alcaraz remained confident of Spain beating England in the upcoming game.
"I will be watching the game with my team. I am not sure where... but I will be watching the match. I've already done my job. Now, Let see football. I think it is going to be a difficult match...," he said.
England seeks its first major men's trophy since the 1966 World Cup, while Spain has three European Championship wins (1964, 2008, 2012).
The Spaniard became only the sixth man to win the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back.
The Spanish tennis player started off well and took command of the match as he won the set 6-2 against the Serbian. The first set was one-sided after Alcaraz received a double break and ended it in 41 minutes.
Alcaraz kept his momentum and won the second set 6-2. Djokovic was struggling in the second set and failed to make a comeback.
The Serbian tennis player tried to bounce back in the third set but Alcaraz didn't let go easily. Djokovic started well in the third set and gave a tough fight to his opponent but the Spaniard gave a tough fight and forced the match into the tiebreak. Alcaraz kept his nerves cool and won the tiebreak 7-4.
The Spaniard dominated the game from the very first moment and won the Wimbledon 2024 final in straight three sets.
