Carlos Alcaraz convincingly defeated Novak Djokovic 6-2 6-2 7-6 (7-4) in the men’s final to become the first Spaniard to win back-to-back Wimbledon titles.
In tennis’ storied history, one awash with trailblazers and extraordinary champions, household names who still hold a place in people’s hearts, there hasn’t been a player quite like Carlos Alcaraz. In defeating Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon men’s final in straight sets – a straightforward 6-2 6-2 7-6 victory against one of the sport’s greats – Alcaraz became the first Spaniard to successfully defend his Wimbledon crown, a feat not even Rafael Nadal had managed.
Aged 21, he has won four grand slams, winning all the major finals he has participated in, and twice he has beaten Djokovic in a Wimbledon final, a tournament the Serb has won seven times. A young player on the fast-track to greatness, a man accumulating titles at a pace most of his greatest predecessors had not managed, Alcaraz is now the reigning US Open, French Open and Wimbledon champion. He is just the sixth man in the Open Era to win at Wimbledon and Roland Garros in the same season.
