Alcaraz is currently competing at the ATP 500 - Queen's Club 2024 tournament. The Spaniard defeated Francisco Cerundolo in the first round with a score of 2-0 (6-1, 7-5) last night (June 18). Now, Alcaraz will meet Jack Draper in the second round scheduled to take place on June 20 (no specific time yet).
However, it is normal for tennis matches to run later than scheduled if some matches are extended into the third set. That could cause Alcaraz to miss the match between Spain and Italy at 2 a.m. (Vietnam time) on June 21.
"Euro comes every four years, it's time to cheer and watch the Spanish team. I will apply to play soon" - Alcaraz expressed.
Alcaraz asked to play early in the second round because he wanted to watch Euro 2024 and watch his home team compete.
Therefore, Alcaraz confirmed to the media that he will ask the organizers to let the match start early so that he can watch the national team match without interruption.
The organizers will probably accept Alcaraz's request because he is one of the top names in tennis and the reigning champion of the tournament. Moving the match earlier is not a difficult thing.
At the European Football Championship (Euro 2024) taking place in Germany, Spain is highly appreciated for its chance to go deep and is a candidate for the championship title.
That makes Alcaraz extremely eager to follow the journey of the Spanish team. On the opening day, his home team got off to a good start by defeating Croatia 3-0 and the next opponent is Italy. This is considered a very important match for Spain in the group stage. This makes Alcaraz want to follow the details of the match.
Not only Alcaraz loves football, having played the sport when he was young. World No. 1 tennis player Jannik Sinner also loves football when appearing in an interview with ATP accompanying Euro 2024.
The Italian tennis player said he will watch the upcoming match and will definitely not tease Alcaraz even if the Italian team wins.
