When tennis and soccer collide: Wimbledon players and crowd keep one eye on Euro 2024

Associated Press  

LONDON — Carlos Alcaraz is slightly worried about a possible scheduling conflict for his Wimbledon quarterfinal on Tuesday. “Hopefully I will be able to see a little bit from the match.” It’s an issue that pops up every time Wimbledon coincides with a major soccer tournament such as the World Cup or the Euros. His third-round match was played while England faced Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals, and Djokovic could tell the Centre Court crowd wasn’t fully focused on the tennis. Two-time Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur, who is from Tunisia, said last week that watching Cristiano Ronaldo miss a penalty for Portugal against Slovenia made her cry “because I love him so much.” England plays the Netherlands on Wednesday in the Euro 2024 semifinals, but Wimbledon had no plans to devote any of their screens to soccer. “When you come to Wimbledon, you come to watch the tennis,” Michelle Dite, operations director at the All England Club, said last Tuesday.
