Alcaraz Beats Djokovic In Wimbledon Final

By Gyang Dakwo

Carlos Alcaraz wiped the floor with Novak Djokovic in a one-sided Wimbledon final to land a second straight title at the All England Club on Sunday.

Alcaraz now has four Grand Slams and a perfect record in major finals. The 21-year-old Spaniard has won back-to-back Wimbledon titles, the 2022 US Open and last month secured his first French Open crown.

Djokovic has been wearing a knee support all fortnight having had surgery on a torn meniscus 39 days ago and despite saving three championship points to break back in the third set it was Alcaraz who edged the tie-break to seal a stunning 6-2 6-2 7-6 (7-4) victory.

“For me this is the most beautiful tournament, the most beautiful court and the most beautiful trophy,” Alcaraz said.

“When it was 40-0 I was seeming so far away, Djokovic is an unbelievable fighter, I knew he was going to have his chances. It was difficult but I tried to stay calm going into the tie-break and tried to play my best tennis. I was glad at the end I could find the solutions.”

Football fan Alcaraz is now hoping for a double Spanish celebration when Spain take on England in the Euro 2024 final.
