Two-time Wimbledon champion Alcaraz continued speaking on Centre Court – and when asked whether he would be watching the European Championship final between England and Spain later, he added: “With my team, for sure, I don’t know where. I will watch it for sure. I’ve already done my job, so let’s see the football! It’s going to be a really difficult match.”

Alcaraz has a human moment, as he’s asked by Croft how his dancing skills are ahead of the traditional Champions’ dance with ladies’ winner Barbora Krejcikova, and he looks a little nervous and shy, reminding us he is just 21 years old. “Let’s see tonight… I could be better but I’ll try to do my best!

“I’m so nervous doing this speech, I’ve forgotten to have some words for Novak and his team. A really difficult few weeks for you, you guys have done unbelievable work after surgery after the French Open.

“Making the final, a really great run, I have huge respect for you and your team, so big respect and keep going. And obviously to my team, and my family, everyone up there supporting me: it’s been an amazing four weeks.

“All the support every day, every week, at home and travelling around the world, being so far away from your families. It’s unbelievable to have you there, and I’m still learning from you. Thank you very much and hopefully we’ll have more times like this.”
