Carlos Alcaraz retained his Wimbledon men’s singles title with a dominant victory over Novak Djokovic, winning 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4).
Unlike their previous year’s thrilling five-set final, this match saw Djokovic struggling against Alcaraz’s powerful performance.
Alcaraz, who overcame several tough matches leading up to the final, showcased his best tennis when it mattered most.
Despite squandering three championship points in the third set, Alcaraz regained his focus to secure the win and celebrated with his team and family. The victory marked his 14th consecutive match win at Wimbledon, making him the youngest man to win both Wimbledon and the French Open in the same year.
Djokovic, aiming to match Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles and surpass Margaret Court’s all-time Grand Slam singles titles record, was gracious in defeat, praising Alcaraz’s elite play.
The match was a stark contrast to Djokovic’s usual dominant form, with numerous unforced errors and missed opportunities.
Alcaraz’s deft drop shots and thunderous forehands left the 37-year-old Serbian unable to find his rhythm.
