The Spanish tennis player said that he tried to stay calm and positive against Djokovic in the final match of the 2024 Wimbledon. He also accepted that it was a difficult game.

"It was difficult for me. I tried to stay calm, I tried to stay positive at that situation, going into the tiebreak, and I tried to play my best tennis. That's all I was thinking about. I'm really glad that at the end I could find the solution and I'm happy to be in this situation."

Recapping the Wimbledon 2024 final, the Spanish tennis player started off well and took command of the match as he won the set 6-2 against the Serbian. The first set was one-sided after Alcaraz received a double break and ended it in 41 minutes.
