Defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz secured a sensational comeback win over Tommy Paul to reach the semifinals in SW19 on Tuesday. The Spaniard won in four sets to reach the last four of Wimbledon for the second consecutive year.

However, the nerves had not gone for Alcaraz despite creating landmarks on the tennis court. After the match, he was getting ready to watch Spain’s soccer team take on France in the Euro 2024 semi-final.

I already got enough nerves here in the match. Now I'm going to get more nerves watching the Spanish team. But it's another semi-final and another big moment for the Spanish people, so let's see how it is going to be.
Carlos Alcaraz said in his post-match interview

Spain haven’t won the Euros since 2012 and haven’t come close to competing for it recently. However, the form they have shown this year has given a lot of encouraging signs, and they might start as the slight favorites against France.

Regardless of whether it is soccer or tennis, the Spaniards are making the nation proud. Alcaraz will also be representing his country for the first time in the Olympic Games later this month when he teams up with Rafael Nadal in men’s doubles action.

This will be a repeat of last year’s semifinal, which Alcaraz won in straight sets. However, Medvedev won their last Grand Slam meeting in the US Open semifinal, beating Alcaraz in four sets.

Medvedev stunned top seed Jannik Sinner 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 2-6, 6-3 to reach the Wimbledon semifinals for the second time in his career. The Russian avenged the Australian Open final defeat he sustained from the Italian and also ended a five-match losing run against him.

Alcaraz is looking to win Wimbledon and the French Open back-to-back for the first time in his career. Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic have accomplished this feat.
