Carlos Alcaraz hilariously interrupted the presenter during his on-court interview at Wimbledon, enquiring about the Spain vs Germany score in the 2024 Euros. Alcaraz defeated Frances Tiafoe 5-7, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6(2), 6-2 to reach the fourth round in London.

Carlos Alcaraz, a Spaniard and ardent football fan, asked about the score of the Euros game during his on-court interview.

“How is the score? How is the score?” Alcaraz questioned, interrupting the presenter mid-question.

He got respite when he heard the score was still tied. The host asked him if he was going to watch it. The Spaniard excitedly said that he was going to support Spain.

"Yes of course. I am straight to put the match to support Spain. I think itit's0 minutes so I am going to go for it and let's see how it is going to be," Alcaraz said.

The match saw many ups and downs as Spain lost star player Pedri to an injury in the 8th minute of the game and was replaced by Daniel Olmo, who broke the deadlock in the 51st minute to give Spain a lead. Rising star Florian Writz gave Germany a lifeline as he netted a goal in the 89th minute to tie the score.

As the match went into overtime, both teams scrambled to find a winner and penalties seemed imminent when Mikel Merino scored a header to give Spain the lead once more in the 119th minute and Spain claimed a spot in the semifinals.

As the match went into overtime, both teams scrambled to find a winner and penalties seemed imminent when Mikel Merino scored a header to give Spain the lead once more in the 119th minute. Alcaraz must've undoubtedly been thrilled to his side advance to the semifinals.

Like Spain vs Germany, Alcaraz vs Tiafoe also saw many ups and downs. The Spaniard overcame an intense battle to keep his title defence alive at Wimbledon 2024. He was in trouble midway through the game, going one set to two down to the American.

The fourth set went to a tiebreak with the Spaniard rising to the occasion and sending the match into the deciding set.

The 21-year-old said in the on-court interview that having his team and family's support helped him tide over difficult moments.

"Having my family and team saying ‘Come on let’s go… one more ball. One more point…’ It's always helpful. And yeah, probably, matches like this one without them, it's impossible to win," he said.

Carlos Alcaraz will face either Ugo Humbert or Brandon Nakashima in the fourth round in London.
