#Wimbledon2024 : Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz Beats Novak Djokovic In Straight Sets To Clinch Fourth Grand Slam Singles Title
Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) in the Wimbledon men’s final to collect his fourth Grand Slam title at the age of 21. It was a rematch of last year’s championship match on the grass of the All England Club, which Alcaraz won in five sets.
This one played in front of a Centre Court crowd 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.
Still, Alcaraz regrouped and eventually picked up a second major trophy in a row after last month’s triumph on the clay at the French Open.
The Spaniard won his first Slam title at the 2022 U.S. Open as a teenager, and no man ever has collected more Slam hardware before turning 22 than he has. He improved to 4-0 in major finals.
The 37-year-old Djokovic, wearing a gray sleeve on his surgically repaired right knee, was denied in his bid for an eighth Wimbledon title and record 25th major overall. He tore his meniscus at Roland Garros on June 3 and had an operation in Paris two days later.
Less than six weeks later, Djokovic was hardly at his best on Sunday and Alcaraz certainly had something to do with that.
“Especially in the first couple of sets, the level of tennis wasn’t really up to par on my side,” said Djokovic, whose two children were in his guest box. “He had it all today. I tried to push him. … It wasn’t meant to be.”
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.
Suddenly, it was 5-all. Suddenly, Alcaraz appeared rattled. Suddenly, Djokovic could hope.
But in the ensuing tiebreaker, Alcaraz earned his fourth match point and stayed cool as can be this time. Soon he was climbing through the stands to hug his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, and others.
Just under 2 1/2 hours earlier, at the outset, the opening game appeared to portend an engrossing, back-and forth contest and a long one, perhaps worrying some folks about getting to a pub or a couch in time to see England face Spain in the men’s soccer European Championship final in Germany on Sunday night. Alcaraz, of course, had a rooting interest.
All told, that game consisted of seven deuces and 20 points across a hair shy of 14 minutes, containing brilliant moments by both men. Sprinting, sliding, and stretching defense by Djokovic. Return winners by Alcaraz. When he slapped a strong reply to a 125 mph (202 kph) serve and drew a wide forehand from Djokovic, Alcaraz cashed in his fifth break chance.
That, it turned out, was the most competitive portion of the proceedings until the third set.
Not to say there weren’t hints of brilliance the rest of the way. Just the outcome never really seemed in dispute.
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.
This was not the body-contorting, get-to-everything Djokovic everyone is accustomed to seeing, mind you. There’s his age, first of all, and the matter of his knee, which raised serious questions about whether it would be possible to even participate at Wimbledon.
By his account, Djokovic felt free of pain and able to move with his usual verve by only his third or fourth match of the fortnight. On this partly cloudy afternoon, with the temperature at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 Celsius), Djokovic occasionally hopped awkwardly when he landed after serving or stepped gingerly as if barefoot on a beach’s hot sand between points or watched some of Alcaraz’s big groundstrokes fly past without giving chase.
Djokovic missed volleys he usually makes and won just 27 of 53 points when he went forward.
After netting a volley to close one early 11-stroke exchange, Djokovic sighed and walked to his sideline seat to grab a purple-and-green towel for dabbing at sweat. His facial expression was giving: Come on, Carlitos, pick on someone your own age.

Upsets at Wimbledon
Day 1 at Wimbledon saw the elimination of four seeds: Facundo Navone, Nicolás Jarry, Sorana Cîrstea, and Mirra Andreeva. However, these results weren't entirely unexpected. Navone and Jarry have consistently struggled on grass courts, unable to adapt their play styles to the surface's demands. Cîrstea, despite her experience, has been inconsistent throughout her career, making her an unreliable bet in Grand Slam events. Andreeva, still very young and unproven despite high expectations, faced the typical pressures and challenges of transitioning to the elite level. These contextual factors made their early exits less surprising for those familiar with their histories and current forms.
Day 2 Recap: Major Upsets at Wimbledon
While Day 1 was relatively free of major surprises—though we did see the departure of seeds Navone, Jarry, Cirstea, and Andreeva—Day 2 brought the drama tennis fans crave. Let's dive into the details of the upsets that shook the tournament.
1. Markéta Vondroušová vs. Jessica Bouzas Maneiro
The defending champion, Markéta Vondroušová, faced a tough match against Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. Bouzas Maneiro played with remarkable composure, securing a 6-4, 6-2 victory. The key to her win was capitalizing on Vondroušová's errors, especially her seven double faults. Bouzas Maneiro broke Vondroušová's serve five times, demonstrating a clinical edge that was hard to counter. Vondroušová's struggles with consistency ultimately paved the way for Bouzas Maneiro's breakthrough.
2. Andrey Rublev vs. Francisco Comesana
Andrey Rublev's first-round exit was a shocker, given his status and experience. Rublev has been battling mental challenges recently, and this match highlighted his struggles. Francisco Comesana, on the other hand, played the match of his life. Despite Rublev’s powerful serve, Comesana managed to out-ace him, serving an incredible 21 aces compared to Rublev's six. This surprising performance underscores the unpredictable nature of the sport and the fine margins that can determine outcomes.
3. Sebastian Korda vs. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard
Sebastian Korda’s loss to the rising French star Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard was another unexpected result. Korda was considered to have a favorable draw, but Mpetshi Perricard’s recent form has been nothing short of sensational. Have you seen this kid play? Fresh off his first title win on clay in Lyon, Mpetshi Perricard brought that confidence to the grass courts. His serve was particularly devastating, hitting 51 aces to Korda's 18. This kind of serving performance on grass is often a recipe for success, and Mpetshi Perricard executed it perfectly.
