The Spaniard was booed, in a humorous way, being remembered at the trophy presentation for the Euro Cup final between Spain and England this Sunday and confirmed that he will watch the match.
“I’ve already done my job, so we’ll see,” replied the Murcian.It’s going to be a very difficult match and I’m going to watch it.“, he confirmed.
The Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz added the second Wimbledon title of his short career following defeating Serbian Novak Djokovic in the final this Sunday, in a kind of generational change, by 6-2, 6-2 and 7-6 (7/4).
Djokovic, 37, who was unable to raise the record of Grand Slam tournaments won by the Serbian to 25seems to pass the baton with this symbolic defeat to Alcaraz, 21, who already beat him in the Wimbledon final last year.
Djokovic was thus unable to take revenge for the defeat he suffered a year ago on the same stage, in a match that was more contested on that occasion, reaching five sets.
Alcaraz received the trophy from Princess Catherine of Wales, who attended the final, in his second public appearance since he was diagnosed in March with cancer, the details of which are unknown.
The young Spaniard added his fourth Grand Slam title, having previously won the 2022 US Open, 2023 Wimbledon and 2024 Roland Garros.
Alcaraz equals Nadal
But Alcaraz delayed the victory in that set and in the duel. After having three match points in the next game, He gave up five points in a row to lose his serve for the first time (5-5).
The Serbian received a morale boost, but the suspense only lasted until the tie break, which the Spaniard would end up winning, 7-6 (7/4).
The Spaniard is the sixth player to achieve the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double in the same year.
The victory at Wimbledon allowed Alcaraz to equal the number of victories in the London tournament of his compatriot Rafael Nadal, winner of the trophy in 2008 and 2010. Alcaraz becomes the fourth player in the Open era to win four major titles at the age of 21 or younger, joining Swedes Bjorn Borg and Matts Wilander and Germany’s Boris Becker.
