Wimbledon 2024: Carlos Alcaraz became champion again, defeated Djokovic in the final for the second consecutive time

About 3 weeks before the start of Wimbledon 2024, 37-year-old Serbian legend Novak Djokovic had to undergo surgery on his right knee, which was injured during the French Open. After this surgery, not only the fans but even Djokovic himself did not expect that he would enter the Wimbledon final.

Spain's young tennis star Carlos Alcaraz won the Wimbledon title for the second consecutive year. 21-year-old Alcaraz won his fourth Grand Slam title by defeating 7-time champion Serbian legend Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4) in straight sets in the men's singles final. Repeating last year's final, Alcaraz once again defeated Djokovic in the final and stopped him from winning Wimbledon for the 8th time. This is Alcaraz's second consecutive Grand Slam win this year. Just last month, he won the French Open title for the first time.
For 37-year-old Novak Djokovic, reaching the final of this tournament was once a distant dream. On June 3, during the French Open, he suffered an injury in his right knee, due to which he retired from the tournament. Then on June 5, he had to undergo surgery on his knee. In such a situation, Djokovic himself did not expect that he would be able to register any victory in this tournament, let alone playing the final. Still, he showed this feat and came close to the world record of winning the 25th Grand Slam.
Alkaraz dominates from the first game itself
Ultimately, fitness, age and most importantly, the tremendous form of 21-year-old Carlos Alcaraz came in the way of Djokovic's record. It can be said that the picture of the match became clear from the first game itself, when the Spanish player broke Djokovic's serve in a close contest. There was deuce 7 times in the first game itself, while there was a situation of break point 5 times. After this, Alcaraz did not give any chance to Djokovic and won the set 6-2. The same story was seen in the next set as well and this time too Djokovic had no answer to the energy of the young player. This time too Carlos Alcaraz won the set 6-2.
Defeated in tie-break
Then came the turn of the third set, in which Djokovic had a chance to make a comeback and take the match to the fourth set. This set saw the toughest competition and Djokovic put Alcaraz in trouble in his old style. At one point Alcaraz was leading 5-4 and was just 1 point away from the championship but Djokovic saved the point 3 times in a row and won the game and brought the match to a 5-5 draw. After this the score became 6-6 and then the decision was made by tie-break, where Alcaraz won the title by winning 7-4
