Carlos Alcaraz successfully defended his Wimbledon title with a commanding straight-sets victory over Novak Djokovic, equaling the Open Era record for the most Grand Slam wins. On Sunday, the World No.1 Alcaraz defeated Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) in a match that showcased his dominance on the court.
The final, a rematch of last year’s Wimbledon showdown, featured a dramatic 14-minute opening game with seven deuces and five break points. This contest marked Djokovic’s return to major competition five weeks after knee surgery. The match, held at the Centre Court, also saw a rare public appearance by Kate, the Princess of Wales, following her recent cancer diagnosis.
Alcaraz, living up to his status as the top seed, launched an aggressive attack from the start. He overwhelmed Djokovic in the first set, forcing the seven-time champion to the net repeatedly and securing the set in 41 minutes after earning a double break and holding his serve.
