So you're telling me people don't actually queue up to watch Nick play?

What Wimbledon final had the most views? Gonna guess it’s 2008 or 2019.

2019 was lower than 2023.

'Play' is a real generous term to describe what was offered on the other side of the net from Djokovic in the 2022 Wimbledon men's final.

Does anyone know where to find the ratings for Wimbledon Finals for ESPN in America?

In the UK I assume it's 2013 as 17.3 million people tuned in to watch it that year.

Outside the UK I believe the numbers were quite a bit lower though, so I don't know the worldwide numbers.

Ah yeah, forgot that. 2012 and 2013 will probably be the highest in the UK. MurrayMania.

Alcaraz is going to be a big star. The tennis world had been overhyping so many young talents in hopes of finding another Federer, another Nadal. But their hopes would get shattered as none would live up to expectations of the fans. Then comes along this young lad from Spain, and at just 20 he's the world #1 who dethroned Djokovic at Wimbledon. The hopes and dreams of many tennis fans are with him now.

 

[Hood_Man]

I like to think it's because Alcaraz is becoming a household name outside of tennis fans, but a lot of it was probably because it was raining in a lot of the UK on Sunday.

Who knows.

He’s great, but he’s no Will Ospreay. @Poisoned Slice

Considerably more than the 2019 final is kind of proof that the returns of the big three are diminishing and tennis fans are craving new blood.

Wimbledon 2019 was less because no one likes watching funerals, they are depressing. Coronations are more exciting.

1. No expectations for Kyrgios to win. I'm sure more viewership in 2-3rd sets of that match.
2. Alcaraz destroying Novak in 3rd and it being later in the day by that point.
3. Alcaraz being #1 and 20 year old signaling future prospects


Not really hard to explain. Just Alcaraz being a young #1 meant it was going to get more viewers but I guarantee had Novak won that 2nd set those numbers would have fallen.

The force has already awakened. It is time for the Rise of Alcaraz.

Worth noting that the 2019 Final was on at exactly the same time as the Cricket World Cup Final. I recognise this is not a sport that is well known or popular in most other countries, but it would have certainly taken up a fair bit of attention here in the UK (particularly since England was involved and ended up winning).

I had no idea, that makes sense.

Beauty of that was, the tale of the tape was remarkably similar to the tennis. England played New Zealand and were pretty much on the brink of defeat - stole the victory last minute.
Terrible day to be a fan of Federer and New Zealand frankly. People I know were frantically switching between both channels only to face simultaneous heartbreak

 

[Dilexson]

tennis needs rivalries and great match ups. Don't think lot of folks dreamed of seeing the clown in centre court lol

 

[Sephiroth]

Clowns are entertaining but when it's serious show time the cream will rise to the top

I guess "Lame Horse" wasn't quite the box office attraction that we've been told he was.

More lying from the ATP media.

 

[fedfan24]

I know quite a few people who tuned in hoping for alcaraz to take out djokovic. Even non regular tennis fans said his antics turned them off, found him insufferable.

Federer was one of those viewers.

nick finally being quiet on twitter now LOL

apparently '19W fedr/djoko was 9.6M

 

[mahatma]

It was the most anticipated finals in last 2-3 years. Ratings had to be off the charts.

Does anyone know where to find the ratings for Wimbledon Finals for ESPN in America?

Sunday's Carlos Alcaraz-Novak Djokovic Wimbledon men's final averaged a 1.7 rating and 3.20 million viewers on ESPN, trailing only Djokovic-Roger Federer in 2019 (3.83M) as the most-watched Wimbledon singles final in more than a decade — since Federer-Andy Murray in 2012 (3.93M).

 

[Purestriker]

Alcaraz-Djokovic peak: 11.3m
Djokovic-Kyrgios peak: 7.5m

Not at all surprising. Everyone knew NK had zero chance of winning that match. I didn't watch it.

It's tough for the Wimbledon women's final on ESPN to get a big number if a Williams sister isn't in it.

Alcaraz-Djokovic peak: 11.3m

2022 Wimbledon final was a known conclusion before the match started. This year, everyone knew an upset was not only possible but likely.

Not really an upset if you know that it’s possible.
