BREAKING: Carlos Alcaraz has stunned Novak Djokovic to win his first Wimbledon title 🎾
Djokovic, 36, was looking to secure a fifth straight Wimbledon trophy and 24th Grand Slam title but top-seed Alcaraz won 1-6 7-6 6-1 3-6 6-4 as the Serbian lost on Centre Court for the first time since defeat to Andy Murray in the 2013 final.
It is a second major title for Alcaraz, 20, following his triumph at last year’s US Open and his victory means the young Spaniard will keep the world No.1 ranking and also ends Djokovic’s incredible run of 45 straight wins on Centre Court. Djokovic went into the final as the heavy favourite but Alcaraz – who has far less experience on grass – has adapted his style to the surface and now adds his Wimbledon title to his Queen’s Club trophy in a truly remarkable summer.and the youngster got off to a strong start against the 2022 champion, forcing him to save break point.
But Djokovic, looking to secure his 35th consecutive Wimbledon match win, bounced back to hold and then raced into a 40-love lead on the Alcaraz serve, converting his third break point before another hold of serve saw him lead 3-0. Things got even worse for Alcaraz in game four as Djokovic opened up three more chances to break his opponent, securing the double break after the Spaniard put a backhand into the net in what was a horror start.
