In the final match of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic. Although spectators and observers anticipated an exciting and equally matched championship match, the Spaniard won his second straight title by controlling the whole contest.

The 21-year-old from Murcia proved his predestined status early in his career by winning four majors, making him the youngest player to ever make the French Open-Wimbledon duo in the same year.

Alcaraz reaffirmed at the press conference that his ambition is to become one of the greatest players ever and that he possesses all the essential attributes to reach that goal. In the pivotal moments of the French Open and Wimbledon, Spanish play has improved remarkably. He has an innate ability that enables him to destroy opponents and win the most significant titles.

Tim Henman, a former ATP star, discussed Alcaraz’s performance in the Wimbledon final in an interview. He talked about it and said: “In all honesty, for 6-2, 6-2, 5-4 [40-0], it was an annihilation. Alcaraz was just absolutely phenomenal. The tone was set in that first service game of Djokovic; it was a 14- or 15-minute game. Alcaraz was able to get that break of serve and then he was just relentless. He gave Djokovic nothing to get his teeth stuck into. We were just waiting for the reaction; we were waiting for Djokovic to respond and that really only happened late in the third set when, in all honesty, it was just a little bit too late.”
