In pro wrestling terms, Carlos Alcaraz turned heel Friday in seconds. The defending Wimbledon champion basked in the cheers at Centre Court after clinching a berth in Sunday’s final, only to turn around and take a subtle jab at the English crowd.
“It’s going to be a really good day for Spanish people,” Alcaraz said, referencing the Spain versus England Euro 2024 final, which is also scheduled for Sunday.
As the boos grew louder, Alcaraz clarified that he technically never predicted that the English would lose the Euro final.
“I didn’t say Spain is going to win, I’m just saying it’s going to be a really fun day,” he said.
