July 17, 2023

Carlos Alcaraz won the Wimbledon men’s singles title for the first time by ending Novak Djokovic’s recent dominance with a stunning victory.

The 20-year-old Spaniard Alcaraz, fought back from a nervy start to win the All England Club title for the first time 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 6-4 against the defending champion.

Djokovic was going for a fifth straight win, an eighth men’s triumph and a 24th major – all record-equalling feats but the 36-year-old Serb was outlasted by top seed Alcaraz, who underlined his class by winning a second major title.
