Carlos Alcaraz – Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2 7-6(4), 2024 Wimbledon Final

At the start of the 2024 Wimbledon final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, both were full of smiles, both on the way to the Centre Court and during the draw. The rematch of the 2023 final attracted many stars from all fields to the stands.

Alcaraz-Djokovic, an unprecedented final at Wimbledon 2024

The Princess of Wales, who is undergoing treatment for colon cancer and has reduced her public appearances due to health issues, was also on hand to present the winner with the trophy.

In 2023, Alcaraz and Djokovic played a five-set match that lasted nearly five hours, full of suspense and score reversals. The young Spaniard then won, ending Djokovic’s four-match winning streak on the London grass.

The problematic date of this year’s final is different. The Serb won his third Grand Slam of the year after undergoing surgery on his right knee meniscus on June 5, an injury that forced him to withdraw before his French Open quarterfinals.

Alcaraz successfully won the third Grand Slam trophy of his career in Paris, so the confidence of the two major camps was more on the side of the Spaniard.

If Novak hadn’t felt any physical limitations, any nerves until the final, then on Sunday, in a match with multiple stakes for the seven-time champion on the London grass, they came together to fight for the trophy. Because that’s what happens in big gatherings.

Alcaraz, one hour and fifteen minutes, two plates

The first set lasted 14 minutes, and after seven draws, Carlos Alcaraz dominated Djokovic. The Serbian made many mistakes and could not find the antidote to his opponent’s perfect game. He came to the net but was passed, he tried to shorten the score but was put on the defensive again, and his serve was not very effective, so that after only 1 hour and 15 minutes, Djokovic was defeated by his opponent 2-0 in this, the 37th Grand Slam final of his career. Alcaraz won 6-2, 6-2.

Djokovic was repeatedly encouraged by the public, and even during the two weeks in London, Novak had some conflicts with British fans. People once again wanted to see an epic match, where they saw close exchanges, tension and twists.

Carlos Alcaraz continued his path and Djokovic took his game to another level. He had break points and served much better. Both protagonists won their serves, easier for Novak and harder for Carlos.

Sensing the tension and growth in his opponent’s game, Alcaraz began to become more and more expressive after each success. After the fifth game, which lasted nearly 15 minutes, he looked to his box and his father motioned for him to think. He got out of trouble, saved a break point and overcame four ties.

Maybe that was the moment that changed his perspective on things on the court. At 4-4, he broke the serve, just one step away. He had to control his emotions and serve throughout the match. But he didn’t, and Novak fought back and successfully eliminated three match points.

The match went into a tie-break, with fans in the stands siding with the Serbs as they wanted more than three sets, but the Spaniards didn’t give them the satisfaction.

Carlos Alcaraz made some mistakes in the third set but eventually won his second consecutive Wimbledon victory with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4). This was his fourth Grand Slam final and his fourth trophy at the age of 21. His future looks bright.
