Carlos Alcaraz declared that he wants a second chance to defeat Novak Djokovic

He claimed that would make winning the Wimbledon Championships much more memorable. Alcaraz had the opportunity to compete against Djokovic. He also beat her.

At the All England Club, Alcaraz overcame a slow start to defeat Djokovic 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 and snap his 34-match winning run. Sunday’s final was enthralling and back-and-forth, and he won it to win his second Grand Slam trophy overall and his first Wimbledon crown.

Djokovic was prevented from capturing a record-tying eighth and fifth straight championship at the grass-court competition by No. 1-ranked Alcaraz. Additionally, Djokovic was denied from capturing his 24th major championship of his career.

Spain’s 20-year-old Alcaraz beat out Serbia’s 36-year-old Djokovic to become Wimbledon’s third-youngest men’s champion in the Open era. Djokovic had previously held the record. The two had the biggest age disparity in a men’s Slam final since 1974.

Alcaraz therefore had access to the young players, just as they did when they ran into one another at the French Open last month. Before Alcaraz started to lose his edge and fade, he was outstanding for two sets. He possessed the endurance and the skills necessary to defeat Djokovic this time.

Alcaraz is faster and more powerful—his serves and forehands can reach speeds of 130 mph and 100 mph, respectively—but Djokovic has more talent and muscle memory. He has experience that Alcaraz can only dream of at this time.

But if this victory on a breezy and gloomy Centre Court day—where Djokovic last lost in the 2013 championship match—is any indicator, Alcaraz is well on his way to making a name for himself.

Alcaraz’s second Grand Slam final, and Djokovic’s 35th overall, were both relatively fresh to him.

However, Alcaraz took the third set by winning a 32-point, 25-minute mini-masterpiece game. Alcaraz made the difference in the fifth with a backhand passing winner to take the lead 2-1. The impact was negated when Djokovic, who had fallen during the point but had instantly stood up, reacted by banging his racket over the net post. Chair umpire Fergus Murphy charged him with a code violation after he damaged his equipment.

The game would last for another 24 minutes, extending the total playing time to over 4 1/2 hours, but Alcaraz never gave up. Alcaraz, not Djokovic, was the recipient of the trophy that evening.
