Carlos Alcaraz stormed his way to yet another Grand Slam title, with the Spaniard now a four-time major winner.
His first success arrived back in 2022 at the US Open, with the 2023 Wimbledon title then going his way shortly after.
And Alcaraz has now followed those successes up with back-to-back Grand Slam wins in 2024 at the French Open and Wimbledon.
Remarkably, Alcaraz is just 21 years old, with several more trophies set to go his way in the years to come.
His two Wimbledon titles have come against Novak Djokovic, with the Spaniard twice denying the Serbian an eighth title.
Carlos Alcaraz pays tribute to Novak Djokovic after beating him at Wimbledon
They played out a five-set thriller in 2023, but this time around Alcaraz blew his opponent away in straight sets.
Despite the straightforward win, the Spanish star still has the utmost respect for the 24-time Grand Slam champion and all he has achieved on the court.
“I still believe that Novak is superman,” Alcaraz said in his final Wimbledon press conference. “What he has done this tournament with a surgery just a few weeks before the tournament begun, it is amazing, it is unbelievable.
“Honestly I was talking to my team, saying that the work Novak has done is unbelievable, and to give himself the chance to make the tournament and making the final is something out of this world for me.
“I beat him today but for me Novak is still being like superman.”
What went wrong for Novak Djokovic versus Carlos Alcaraz?
The duo were undoubtedly nervous ahead of their final clash, but Alcaraz and Djokovic did converse before making their way onto Centre Court.
The former was at his very best on the iconic grass court, but at the same time the latter was extremely underwhelming.
His recent knee surgery may have been playing on his mind, with Djokovic admitting to struggling with his movement in his earlier Wimbledon rounds.
But the seven-time champion at the All England Club would have still liked to have performed better, having lost 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(7-4).
Having lost in the Australian Open semi-finals and withdrawn from the French Open, Djokovic will now be desperate for glory at the US Open.
