Digital Desk: The seven-time winner Novak Djokovic hyped the much-awaited Wimbledon final on Sunday as the "ultimate showdown." His opponent, Alcaraz, stole the show with a stunning performance, winning in an exciting five-set match with scores of 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, 3-6, and 6-4.
Despite a slow start, Alcaraz proved his great talent and became just the fifth man in the Open Era to win multiple major championships before the age of 21.
The 2022 US Open champion Alcaraz ended Djokovic's amazing 34-match winning streak at Wimbledon. Alcaraz had previously won the tournament in 2022. Fans were in awe of the pure skill shown on the SW19 court during their marathon four hours and 42-minute duel.
The 20-year-old has become the fourth active male player to win the famous trophy at the All England Club, joining the ranks of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray thanks to his explosive groundstrokes and deft elegance throughout the competition.
Seven-time champion Djokovic got off to a fast start in south-west London, but Alcaraz displayed great tenacity to win a vital tie-break in the second set and go on to win the match. The spectators on Centre Court were captivated by the encounter between the two players as it featured thrilling exchanges on the spotless London grass.
Alcaraz had a difficult time defeating Djokovic at Wimbledon, as the Serbian was going for his fifth straight victory. The Spaniard, who had been outplayed in the opening set, displayed his coolness on the big stage by staging an incredible comeback that resulted in Djokovic suffering just his second loss in 81 Wimbledon matches.
Even Murray, the hometown favourite and a two-time previous Wimbledon winner, enjoyed the sight of the match on Centre Court. The presence of prominent individuals like the Prince and Princess of Wales, Daniel Craig, and Brad Pitt added to the allure of the event. While Djokovic had the chance to create history by tying Margaret Court, a former WTA star, for the most major singles titles, Alcaraz further cemented his place as one of the most promising emerging talents in sports.
