JUST IN: World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz overcomes reigning champion Novak Djokovic in thrilling five-set men’s final to win his first Wimbledon title
The Spaniard prevailed after nearly five hours on Centre Court, eventually winning 1-6 7-6 6-1 3-6 6-4, tumbling to the court in celebration before volleying a tennis ball into the crowd. The 20-year-old becomes the third-youngest Wimbledon champion in the Open Era and adds a second major title to his record after winning the US Open last year.
The talented youngster against the veteran who was chasing history and had been winning grand slams for fun, securing two majors already this year. Many expected Alcaraz to come out all guns blazing. The 36-year-old reigning champion was on the back foot early on as he faced a break point in the opening game; the resilience Djokovic has become so well-known for saw him through the danger.
