In rematch of last year’s marathon, Alcaraz prevails again, following up on French Open title.
Carlos Alcaraz of Spain plays a forehand return to Novak Djokovic of Serbia during the men’s singles final at the Wimbledon tennis championships in London, Sunday, July 14, 2024. LONDON — Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 in the Wimbledon men’s final Sunday to collect his fourth Grand Slam title at age 21.
Still, Alcaraz regrouped and eventually picked up a second major trophy in a row after last month’s triumph on the clay at the French Open. “Especially in the first couple of sets, the level of tennis wasn’t really up to par on my side,” said Djokovic, whose two children were in his guest box. “He had it all today. I tried to push him. … It wasn’t meant to be.”
Just under 2 1/2 hours earlier, at the outset, the opening game appeared to portend an engrossing, back-and forth contest — and a long one, perhaps worrying some folks about getting to a pub or a couch in time to see England face Spain in the men’s soccer European Championship final in Germany on Sunday night. Alcaraz, of course, had a rooting interest.
