Alcaraz's European Championship gold in advance for the Wimbledon crowd

The English Wimbledon audience interpreted one of Carlos Alcaraz's answers after the semifinal win over Daniil Medvedev as if he had taken out a Spanish European Championship gold in football in advance.

It's going to be a very good day for the Spanish people, says Alcaraz, who next faces Novak Djokovic in a final replay.

Reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz is clear for his second straight final in the men's singles tennis tournament at Wimbledon.

The 21-year-old Spaniard and world number three turned and won against fifth-ranked Russian Daniil Medvedev with 3–1 in sets and set scores 6–7 (1–7), 6–3, 6–4, 6–4.

In the victory interview on the center court on the grass outside London, Alcaraz received questions about Sunday's final, which starts at 15 Swedish time. Six hours before the men's European Championship final between Spain and England.

Laughed at the boos

It's going to be a very good day for the Spanish people, he says, and was interrupted by boos from large parts of the audience, who interpreted it as him counting out England.

Alcaraz took the boos with a smile and continued:

I didn't say Spain is going to win. I just say it's going to be a fun day.

Can write history

Last year's Wimbledon saw Alcaraz meet legend Novak Djokovic in the men's final. So it will be again this year.

The 37-year-old Serb, who had his right knee operated on in June, defeated 25th-ranked surprise package Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets with set scores 6–4, 7–6 (7–2), 6–4 later on Friday evening.

If he wins against Alcaraz, Djokovic will make history as the first male or female player to win 25 Grand Slam titles.

I'll need to play at the top of my ability to defeat him on Sunday, says Novak Djokovic in his victory interview in Eurosport.
