Carlos Alcaraz showcased his dominance by defeating seven-time champion Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7/4) on Sunday to successfully defend his Wimbledon title and secure his fourth Grand Slam victory. This highly anticipated rematch of last year's championship match at the prestigious All England Club saw Alcaraz emerge victorious once again, this time in straight sets.
As the Spanish third seed, Alcaraz joins an elite group of just six men who have achieved the remarkable feat of winning both the French Open and Wimbledon consecutively. His performance on the court was nothing short of awe-inspiring, as he denied Djokovic his record-breaking 25th major title with a display of sheer power and skill.
The atmosphere at Centre Court was electric, with notable figures such as Kate, the Princess of Wales, in attendance for this historic event. Alcaraz's path to victory was not without its challenges, as he faced a moment of uncertainty while holding three match points at 5-4 in the third set. However, he showed remarkable composure and resilience to ultimately secure his second consecutive major title following his triumph at the French Open last month.
Having previously claimed his first Slam title at the 2022 U.S. Open as a teenager, Alcaraz has now solidified his status as one of the most promising talents in the world of tennis. With an impressive record of 4-0 in major finals, he has already amassed an unparalleled collection of Slam titles before the age of 22.
In addition to his remarkable achievements on the court, Alcaraz also received a substantial prize money of over INR 28.5 crore for his outstanding performance at Wimbledon.
