Alcaraz, who had previously triumphed at the 2022 US Open, put an end to Djokovic's impressive 34-match winning streak at Wimbledon. Their epic battle lasted for four hours and 42 minutes, leaving spectators in awe of the sheer brilliance displayed on the SW19 court.

The 20-year-old's powerful groundstrokes and delicate finesse have captivated audiences throughout the tournament, making him the fourth active male player to claim the prestigious trophy at the All England Club, joining the ranks of Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray.
Seven-time champion Djokovic got off to a scorching start in south-west London, but Alcaraz showed incredible resilience to secure a crucial second-set tie-break before fending off Djokovic's comeback and claiming the title. The match between the two players was filled with thrilling exchanges on the pristine London grass, captivating the crowd on Centre Court.
Defeating Djokovic at Wimbledon, where the Serbian was aiming for his fifth consecutive title, was no easy task for Alcaraz. After being outplayed in the first set, the Spaniard showcased his composure on the grand stage by mounting a remarkable comeback, handing Djokovic only his second defeat in 81 Wimbledon matches when he had won the opening set.
The clash on Centre Court was a spectacle that even home favorite and two-time former Wimbledon champion Murray relished. Notable figures like Hollywood stars Daniel Craig and Brad Pitt, as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales, were also in attendance, adding to the allure of the event. While Djokovic had the opportunity to make history by matching former WTA star Margaret Court's record of 24 major singles trophies, it was Alcaraz who further solidified his status as one of the brightest young stars in the world of sports.
