Despite initially trailing Medvedev in the first set, Alcaraz staged a comeback to win the match 6-7 (1-7), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Modric was observed in the Spaniard’s box at Centre Court during the thrilling encounter.
Alcaraz, who himself supports Real Madrid and has been seen at the Santiago Bernabeu for important matches, had the privilege of inviting Modric to witness the crucial clash as he aims for his fourth grand slam title.
A passionate football enthusiast, Alcaraz is eager to wrap up Sunday’s final swiftly so he can watch Spain play against England in the Euro 2024 final.
Next, the Spanish tennis prodigy will face either Lorenzo Musetti or Novak Djokovic on Sunday. At just 21 years old, he is already a three-time Grand Slam champion and is striving to become only the ninth man in the Open era to defend his Wimbledon title.
