Carlos Alcaraz continues to rewrite the history books after he successfully defended the Wimbledon title.

After overcoming some difficult moments, the Spaniard saved his best performance of the tournament for the final, as he defeated Novak Djokovic for the second successive year at SW19.

After a lengthy opening game which went the way of the 21-year-old, he dominated proceedings until squandering three championship points in the third set, before producing a swift recovery to win the tiebreak.

Alcaraz claimed a 6-2, 6-2- 7-6(4) win which earned him the fourth Grand Slam title of his career. He is hungry for more as he aims to become one of the greatest players of all time.

Carlos Alcaraz writes more records after winning second Wimbledon title

Despite having surgery on his knee just over a month ago, Djokovic cruised into a 10th Wimbledon final and was seeking his eighth title.

But he had no answer for the brilliance from the other side of the net, as Alcaraz produced an impressive array of shots to keep him off balance.

Though Djokovic’s level improved in the third set, the World number three held off the challenge to complete the win.

After his second Wimbledon triumph, Alcaraz became the first player to record multiple victories over players ranked in the top five on grass, clay and hard courts in successive seasons.

He has maintained his unbeaten record in Grand Slam finals and levelled his rivalry with Djokovic at three wins apiece.

What is Carlos Alcaraz’s Grand Slam record?

Alcaraz continued his excellent form at Grand Slams by sealing his second Wimbledon crown and fourth major overall.

Dating back to his first major triumph at the 2022 US Open, the player has captured four of the last seven events, and 42 of his last 45 matches.

He has also lost just one five-set match in his career, and Alcaraz became the third man in the Open Era to win two Wimbledon titles aged 21 or under.

Alcaraz also made more history for Spain as he became the second Spaniard after Rafael Nadal to win more than one Wimbledon title.
