Carlos Alcaraz wins Wimbledon by beating Novak Djokovic and now owns four Slam titles before the age of 21.

Carlos Alcaraz has defeated Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon men’s final to win the title for the second year consecutively to claim the 4th Grand Slam title at age 21.

LONDON (AP) LONDON (AP)The English tennis player Carlos Alcaraz was ready from the beginning this time. Last year, in the Wimbledon final against Novak Djokovic, Alcaraz got off with a slow start, lost the first set, and required five sets to win his first major championship on the All England Club .

The second game on Sunday started with a match that seemed enormous: 20 points over nearly 15 minutes. It was a thrilling back-and-forth match — and one that was long. It was a time of greatness from the two teams. Alcaraz however, was the better team. In the same way, it would be the next two hours.

Alcaraz has taken the lessons learned from 2023 and incorporated the lessons learned to 2024. The result was winning 6-2 7-6, 6-1 (4) victory over Djokovic to claim the second consecutive Wimbledon title as well as a fourth Grand Slam title in all. Also, consider it this way: Alcaraz is only 21 years old..

“At the end of my career, I want to sit at the same table as the big guys,” said Alcaraz who won the French Open last month and after receiving the Gold Medal at Wimbledon in the presence by Kate Prince Harry, the Princes of Wales is just the sixth person to win on the red clay at Roland Garros as well as the grass of the All England Club in the same year. “That’s my first objective. That’s what I’m working towards at the moment. “

Alcaraz achieved the record for 4-0 wins in major finals that includes in 2022 the U.S. Open; only Roger Federer got off to the most successful start to his professional career in the male category with a 7-0 record.

“He just was better than me in every aspect of the game,” said the 37-year-old Djokovic who had knee surgery just one and a half months ago. He was determined to beat Federer’s record for men’s tennis by winning eight Wimbledon championships. He also became the only tennis athlete to have greater than twenty Grand Slam tournaments. “In the way he moved and his style that he was hitting the ball with an excellent technique, and he was serving flawlessly. Everything. “

The Alcaraz team experienced a brief moment of semblance. It was an eight-point streak that took him from the edge of winning to a close. The incident occurred as the team was just one step away of winning the title performing at 5-4, and a score of 40 love. But the player double-failed. He failed to hit his backhand. After that, he missed the forehand. Then a fronthand. Then another forehand. It was five-all. Then, Alcaraz appeared rattled. Then, Djokovic could hope.

Then there was a lot of excitement.

But it only lasted an insignificant amount of time. Alcaraz was capable of regrouping, reached the tiebreaker and set the tiebreaker in the correct position.

The past was a time when Djokovic was adamant, “We played toe-to-toe. “

“This year,” he continued, “it was nothing like the previous year. It was all focused on the athlete. It was his most dominant basketball player and was rightfully crowned the winner. “

In an uncolored sleeve sitting on his knees Djokovic wasn’t in his element on a rainy day at Centre Court — and it’s no surprise that Alcaraz was a key reason for the incident.

The first match what, it turned out it was the most competitive portion of the game until the third set.

It’s not as if there weren’t any signs of excitement through. The fact is that the final result was always at stake.

“The initial game itself was amazing. It was one of the longest first games I’ve played,” Djokovic stated. “That set the tone. He was emerging out of the blocks ready to fight and prepared to perform at the highest level right from the beginning of this year, which wasn’t the case in the previous year. “

Djokovic double-faulted, giving the hosts a lead of 5-1 in the first set. He hit an volley into the net but was beaten by a break at the opening part of the set after which the double-fault was able to win the second set. In the third set, Djokovic increased his energy through only break of serve during the match. The crowd was singing his two-syllable nickname -“No-le “No-le! “No-le!” — while the other players joined in with a chorus which comprised “Let’s take a game, Carlos! Let’s go! “

However this wasn’t the body-constricting, slouchy Djokovic everybody is used to. This is quite understandable considering that there were significant concerns over the possibility of being able to compete at Wimbledon.

The match was played in the match against Alcaraz, Djokovic occasionally hopped awkwardly after serving, or walked swiftly like naked on the beach sand between shots. When he has been in the past he’s failed to hit volleys, Djokovic scored just 27 of 53 points when his entry into the net. After having scored a volley to end the 11-stroke exchange, Djokovic was looking up and headed toward his bench, where he grabbed the towel that was purple and green to rub sweat. The expression was: “Come on, Carlitos you pick on someone who is who is your age. “

Alcaraz was an absolute top performer in nearly every aspect, from the most basic to the kind of shots that no other player could ever take. Once the player leapt and wrapped his racket on the back of his body to take the ball in the net. However, Djokovic managed to hit an overhead to take the win. Alcaraz did not make it to the doubles alley to get forward-hand winners. He earned points for throwing shots. The speed of his serves was up to 130 miles per hour (219 kilometers/h). Team earned fifteen break points that were converted to five times and faced only three difficulties.

Just a few days before the final Djokovic made Alcaraz an admiration that was quite impressive and said: “I see a lot of resemblances between me and Alcaraz. “

So true. Keep in mind: Alcaraz is just getting underway.

“I want,” Alcaraz declared, “to keep going. “
