Defending his title, Alcaraz outplayed Djokovic in the first set, winning 6-2 on Centre Court. Djokovic was frequently forced to approach the net by Alcaraz, who secured an early double break and held his serve to wrap up the set in just 41 minutes.
Continuing his dominance into the second set, Alcaraz again overwhelmed Djokovic with a 6-2 scoreline, positioning himself for a convincing straight-sets victory over him.

Alcaraz’s Words After Win:
That was an incredible win by the young player. The youngster won the Wimbledon for two consecutive years. Kate, Princess of Wales, presented Carlos Alcaraz with the champion’s trophy. After winning the tournament, Alcaraz opened up about his feelings.
He said, “Djokovic is an unbelievable fighter, I knew he was going to have his chances. It was difficult but I tried to stay calm going into the tie-break and tried to play my best tennis. I was glad at the end I could find the solutions.”
Galamours Recod by the Champion:
Carlos Alcaraz has entered the ranks of tennis greats like Roger Federer by successfully defending his Wimbledon title. Ranked third in the world, Alcaraz is only the second player in the professional era, after Federer, to win his first four major finals.
He joins a select group of men’s players since 1968 who have triumphed at both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year, including legends like Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, Rafael Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic.
At just 21 years old, Alcaraz has emulated Rafael Nadal’s achievement from 14 years ago. He becomes the first Spanish man since Nadal in 2010 to win consecutive Wimbledon and French Open titles.
Alcaraz has set a new record in the Open Era by becoming the youngest player to achieve this double, winning Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same calendar year at 21 years and 70 days. This milestone surpasses the previous record held by Bjorn Borg, who accomplished the feat at 22 years and 32 days in 1978.
