Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(4) to win his second Wimbledon title and fourth Grand Slam singles title overall.
The 20-year-old Spaniard became only the sixth man to complete the French Open and Wimbledon double in the same year, after Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Bjorn Borg, and Rod Laver.
Alcaraz’s victory was aided by his improved serving, which maximized the risk-reward ratio on his first serves.
He made fewer double faults than his tournament average and significantly increased his percentage of points won behind his first serve.
Djokovic’s movement was hampered after knee surgery, and Alcaraz had a psychological edge over him in net exchanges.
It was Djokovic’s first straight-sets defeat at Wimbledon since the 2013 final, when he lost to Andy Murray.
