Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz won the Wimbledon Grand Slam tournament for the second consecutive time, after a masterful performance against his great rival Novak Djokovic.
The ATP world number 3 won convincingly, decisively, in three sets, with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6, after 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Therefore, the Spaniard who also won the Roland Garros - Wimbledon double this year played nearly perfect tennis in the first 2 sets, which he won unequivocally. The third set was the only one where Nole mattered, the only one where he also led on the scoreboard. At 5-4 and serving for the Spaniard, up 40-0, Djokovic won five points in a row and took the set to extensions, extensions decided in a tiebreak eventually, by a masterful Carlos, who kept his composure.
At 21 years old, Alcaraz achieves his 4th Grand Slam title in his career and is the only Spanish tennis player, after Rafa Nadal, to win more than one title here on the London grass.
It was his fourth final in a Grand Slam tournament and the fourth trophy won at just 21 years old, and the future could be bright for this boy trained by Juan Carlos Ferrero, himself a former ATP world number 1, champion at Roland Garros in 2003.
Only 5 other players have won both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year in the entire history of tennis, namely Rod Laver, also present at the arena, Bjorn Borg, Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, and obviously, Novak Djokovic.
The trophies were presented by the Princess of Wales, Catherine, who was applauded standing by the entire stadium. It is known that she is battling cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
Djokovic could have equaled Roger Federer today, who has 8 trophies in his record here at Wimbly, so Sampras and Nole remain with 7 trophies.
