Carlos
Alcaraz
powered
to
victory
over
an
out-of-sorts
Novak
Djokovic
to
retain
his
men’s
singles
title
at
Wimbledon.
Although
the
players
on
show
made
this
a
repeat
of
last
year’s
final,
it
failed
to
live
up
to
the
five-set
thriller
of
12
months
ago
as
Djokovic
appeared
mostly
helpless
against
the
dominant
Spaniard.
Despite
squandering
three
championship
points
when
trying
to
serve
out
a
rapid
victory,
Alcaraz
found
focus
again
and
held
his
arms
aloft
after
battling
through
the
third-set
tie-break
for
a
6-2
6-2
7-6
(7-4)
win.
“Honestly,
it
is
a
dream
for
me
winning
this
trophy,”
said
Alcaraz,
who
was
presented
with
the
trophy
by
the
Princess
of
Wales.
“I
did
an
interview
when
I
was
11
and
I
said
my
dream
is
to
win
Wimbledon.”
Gracious
in
defeat,
Djokovic
shared
a
smile
and
warm
embrace
with
Alcaraz
at
the
net
after
his
comprehensive
loss.
For
a
second
straight
year,
Djokovic
was
attempting
to
equal
Roger
Federer’s
record
of
eight
Wimbledon
men’s
titles.
The
24-time
major
winner
was
also
trying
to
move
ahead
of
Margaret
Court
to
take
sole
ownership
of
the
all-time
record
for
the
most
Grand
Slam
singles
titles.
Djokovic
has
enjoyed
many
magnificent
days
on
Centre
Court,
but
this
was
one
he
is
unlikely
to
look
back
on
with
any
great
fondness.
As
modern
tradition
dictates,
Alcaraz
climbed
up
to
the
players’
box
and
was
leapt
upon
by
his
team
and
family,
celebrating
a
14th
consecutive
match
win
at
Wimbledon.
The
result
continues
the
four-time
major
winner’s
100%
record
in
Grand
Slam
finals,
while
he
becomes
the
youngest
man
to
win
at
Wimbledon
and
the
French
Open
in
the
same
year.
Later
on
Sunday
evening,
Alcaraz
celebrated
Spain’s
Euro
2024
final
victory
over
England
–
making
it
a
perfect
day
for
him
and
his
country.
