Carlos Alcaraz's title defense at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships came to a painful end on Sunday, with the Spaniard losing in the final to Jannik Sinner. As the two-time defending champion, Alcaraz surrendered in a 6-4, 4-6, 4-6, 4-6 loss to the World No. 1 on Center Court.

At the presentation ceremony, Alcaraz did not look as distraught as he was during the match, even managing to eke out a smile or two in his speech. However, one of the questions directed at the World No. 2 during the interview has left fans on social media shocked.

After Alcaraz spoke about his loss and how he will try to bounce back from the result, the host asked him if he would 'back here at Wimbledon' in the future, a strange question that even took the 22-year-old aback.

Fans thought the same, with many wondering why the interviewer would think Alcaraz would not be back at Wimbledon, since he appears to be nowhere near retirement at this point in his career.

"I’m sorry what is he supposed to do, retire???? skip Wimbledon for life???? WHAT IS THIS QUESTION OMG," one fan commented.

Many slammed the question for being 'stupid,' with one clever fan noting that perhaps the interviewer had prepared a series of questions to ask 38-year-old Novak Djokovic should be reach the final and then went ahead with the same list.

"Probably the dumbest question to ever be asked. What a ditz," one fan wrote.

"Most stupid question I heard today. Even Carlos was surprised by it," another said.

Here are a few more reactions from confused fans:

"Yeah WTF. That was so disrespectful for a 2 time champion," one fan wrote.

Carlos Alcaraz, despite the loss in the final of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, continues to lead Jannik Sinner in the head-to-head record. The Spaniard is 8-5 against the Italian, who has won just one of their last six matches on the ATP Tour.

Alcaraz will continue to be the World No. 2 when the rankings are refreshed on Monday, while Sinner continues his hold on the No.1 spot. Alexander Zverev remains the World No. 3 for the moment, followed by Taylor Fritz at No. 4 and Jack Draper at No. 5.
