The Spanish tennis player was overwhelmed by Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final last weekend and he was seen admitting that he was struggling to contend with the Italian’s power. During one of the breaks in the third set, Alcaraz was heard asking his team: “How is it possible that he’s so much better than me in the backfield?”

The final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, which Sinner won 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, drew an average of 2.9 million viewers on ESPN, the network announced Wednesday. The numbers reportedly peaked at 4 million viewers at the end of the match.

Novak fell in the closing stages of the quarter-final duel with Flavio Cobolli and struggled against world no. 1. Jannik earned a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 victory, overcoming a 3-0 deficit in the third set and sealing the deal in style.
