Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz has defeated seven-time champion Novak Djokovic to claim his first Wimbledon title. It was a second major win for the 20-year-old following his US Open title last year.
World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz recovered from dropping the first set and saving a set point in the second to win 1-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 after four hours and 42 minutes on Centre Court at Wimbledon on Sunday.
“This is a dream come true for me,” Alcaraz said. “It’s great to win, but even if I would have lost, I would have been really proud of myself.”
