Alcaraz is unlikely to have been able to watch Spain’s victory in all its glory because of the Wimbledon champions ball, which clashed with the football. The ceremonial dinner takes place in central London, which forced Alcaraz to have to watch parts of the match on his phone.

Speaking about the clash in events, he said: “Well, I have the dinner that all the winners have, after all. I will watch it for sure at the phone the first half. The second half I will watch on the TV over there. I can’t miss it. So it’s going to be a really big moment for the Spanish people. I have to just stay there. As they were watching my final, I have to watch their final and support them.”
