At the Wimbledon men's final, Carlos Alcaraz dominated Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) to claim his second consecutive title. Alcaraz showed moments of vulnerability when Djokovic made a strong comeback, but ultimately, Alcaraz stayed composed to secure victory. At 21, Alcaraz is the youngest man to win Grand Slam titles on grass, clay, and hard courts, adding Wimbledon to his French Open victory earlier this year. Alcaraz's impeccable performance in major finals now stands at 4-0, a rare achievement in the Open era. Meanwhile, Djokovic, aiming for his 25th Slam title and eighth Wimbledon title, acknowledged his subpar performance yet expressed satisfaction with his Wimbledon run after recovering from injury. Alcaraz's versatile skills and ability to adapt to any surface have earned him widespread praise, solidifying his status as a complete player to watch in the tennis world.
