Carlos Alcaraz defeated seven-time champion Novak Djokovic to claim his first Wimbledon title.


Carlos Alcaraz defeated seven-time champion Novak Djokovic to claim his first Wimbledon title on Sunday, shattering the Serb's dream of a record-equaling 24th Grand Slam crown.
World number one Alcaraz recovered from dropping the first set and saving a set point in the second to come through 1-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4.
It was a second major for the 20-year-old Spaniard following his US Open title last year as he became Wimbledon's third youngest men's champion. With the pair going toe to toe in a series of scintillating exchanges on the slick London grass
Alcaraz’s task of defeating Djokovic at Wimbledon, where the Serbian was chasing a fifth consecutive title, only became tougher after he was outplayed in the first set.
Yet the Spaniard demonstrated his comfort on the big stage by rallying to a famous victory, just the second defeat Djokovic has suffered in 81 Wimbledon matches when he has won the opening set.
Home favorite and two-time former Wimbledon champion Murray was among those who enjoyed a fascinating clash on Centre Court, where Hollywood stars Daniel Craig and Brad Pitt, and the Prince and Princess of Wales were also in attendance.
They could have witnessed Djokovic make history by equaling former WTA star Margaret Court's record of 24 major singles trophies, but instead saw Alcaraz add to his burgeoning reputation as one of sport’s brightest young stars.
