Alcaraz laughs off Wimbledon boos after Euros final joke

SPORTS 12.07.2024

Carlos Alcaraz took the Centre Court boos in his stride after joking that Sunday would be a "good day for Spanish people" in reference to his Wimbledon final appearance and his country's Euro 2024 final against England.

Text size:

Alcaraz is one win away from a second successive Wimbledon title following his 6-7 (1/7), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory against fifth seed Daniil Medvedev in Friday's semi-final.

But the 21-year-old risked the wrath of the crowd at the All England Club with a cheeky comment about a potential super-Sunday for Spain during his on-court interview after dispatching Medvedev.

"It will be a good day for Spanish people as well," defending champion -- and Real Madrid fan -- Alcaraz said when asked to look ahead to the weekend.

That triggered light-hearted boos from fans before Alcaraz countered with a smile: "I didn't say Spain is going to win but I say it will be a fun, fun day."
