Congratulations, Jannik, on your first Wimbledon!" Nadal congratulates Sinner and also sends a message to Alcaraz
Rafael Nadal, the king of clay and a two-time Wimbledon champion (2008 and 2010), took the time to post a message on his social media to finalists Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
The Mallorcan first congratulated Sinner before writing a comforting message for his compatriot Alcaraz, who suffered his first defeat in a Grand Slam final:
"Congratulations, Jannik, on your first Wimbledon! An exceptional moment!
I know it won’t be an easy day, but congratulations Carlos on another Grand Slam final and the fantastic season you’re having!
