Carlos Alcaraz dominated the 2024 Wimbledon tournament, culminating in a straight sets victory over Novak Djokovic in the final. However, his flawless performance was slightly marred by a post-victory gaffe during the celebration with Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, her daughter Princess Charlotte, and Middleton's sister Pippa. Despite an initial warm exchange with Middleton and Charlotte, Alcaraz seemingly snubbed Pippa, leaving abruptly. The win marked Alcaraz’s fourth Grand Slam title and his second Wimbledon victory in a row. He joins an elite group of champions, including Djokovic, Federer, and Murray. Alcaraz’s next challenge will be the U.S. Open in August, where he aims to continue his quest for a third consecutive Grand Slam victory. The young phenom’s impressive performance solidifies his place among tennis’ elite players.
