Speaking after the match, Alcaraz said the scorching conditions in London made it harder but is proud of the energy level displayed by him. The 22-year-old stated, as quoted by BBC Sport:
"It was a really difficult match. It was tough with the conditions, really hot. I am just happy in the four sets, saving two set points. I am really proud about the way I stayed calm. I am really pleased about my level today. This is my dream, stepping on these kind of courts and playing these beautiful courts at the most beautiful tournaments in the world. That is all I try to think about. I don't want to think about Sunday, I just want to think about this moment."
With Jannik Sinner beating Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the second semi-final, he has set up the final against Alcaraz. The two also locked horns in the French Open 2025 final.
