Carlos Alcaraz has confirmed he will be returning to Wimbledon despite losing Sunday's final clash to Jannik Sinner on Centre Court.
The Spaniard had entered their mouthwatering showdown hoping to claim glory at the All England Club for the third year in a row.
That didn't happen, however, with Sinner imperious as he secured a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win.
After the match, Alcaraz was asked by Annabel Croft whether he'd be returning to Wimbledon.

"It's so special because seeing my parents here, my brother, my whole team, it's amazing.
"A special thanks to my brother, because there's no Formula 1 race this weekend, that is why he is here."
When asked what it had taken to win, he continued: "I would say mostly emotionally because I had a very tough loss in Paris.
"But at the end of the day it doesn't matter how you win or you lose, at important tournaments you just have to understand what you did wrong and work on that. We tried to accept the loss and keep working. For sure that is one of the reasons why I am holding this trophy. Having this means a lot."
