The Wimbledon final just ended, and Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz won the championship. He easily defeated Novak Djokovic in just 3 sets (6-2, 6-2, 7-6). Before that, when he won the semi-final, Alcaraz left a humorous statement related to Euro 2024. He said: "It will be a special day for Spain, when I play the Wimbledon final and the football team plays the Euro 2024 final". He was immediately booed by the fans at Wimbledon, who were mostly British. In response, Alcaraz just laughed and joked: "I just said it was special, I didn't mean anything by it". Anyway, Alcaraz's victory has somewhat brought hope to Spanish fans. Many people have taken to social media platforms to call on the country's football team to play like Alcaraz.
