Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic, 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4), in the Wimbledon men’s final Sunday, July 14, to collect his fourth Grand Slam title at age 21.
Alcaraz reaffirms mastery against Djokovic, wins second consecutive Wimbledon for fourth Grand Slam titleLONDON — Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic, 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 , in the Wimbledon men’s final Sunday, July 14, to collect his fourth Grand Slam title at age 21.
This one — played in front of a Centre Court crowd that included Kate, the Princess of Wales, in a rare public appearance since announcing she has cancer — was much easier for Alcaraz, at least until he stumbled while holding three match points as he served for the victory at 5-4 in the third set. Less than six weeks later, Djokovic was hardly at his best on Sunday — and Alcaraz certainly had something to do with that.
Alcaraz was up 5-4, 40-love in the third set when the occasion got the better of him. He frittered away his first championship point with a double-fault, beginning a run of five mistakes by him that donated points — and that game — to Djokovic. There was a backhand that went awry. A forehand volley. A forehand. Another forehand. That was the only time all match that Djokovic broke Alcaraz.But in the ensuing tiebreaker, Alcaraz earned his fourth match point and stayed cool as can be this time.
Djokovic double-faulted to hand over a two-break, 5-1 lead in the first set. He put a volley into the net to fall behind by a break to begin the second, then double-faulted to end that one.
