Carlos Alcaraz Beats Novak Djokovic To Win First Wimbledon Title | Tennis

World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz beat reigning champion Novak Djokovic in a thrilling five-set men's final on Sunday to win his first Wimbledon title.

The Spaniard prevailed after nearly five hours on Center Court, eventually winning 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 6-4, and jubilantly fell onto the grass 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 resume after winning the US Open last year.

Through his extraordinary display of athleticism and skill, Alcaraz prevented Djokovic from leveling Margaret Court for the most grand slam singles titles of all time and Roger Federer on eight for the most Wimbledon men's singles titles.

But it was anything but straightforward for Alcaraz, who came from a set down against arguably the greatest tennis player in history performing at the peak of his powers.

In the end, as Djokovic's attempted forehand failed to make it over the net, a new Wimbledon champion was crowned and Alcaraz cemented his status as the leader of men's tennis' next generation.
