Carlos Alcaraz has ended Novak Djokovic's 34-match winning streak at Wimbledon for his second Grand Slam title.
WIMBLEDON, England -- A poor start left Carlos Alcaraz a single point from a two-set hole against Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final.
Add it all up, and the No. 1-ranked Alcaraz marked himself as the star people have been predicting he would be, transforming potential into triumph and putting an end to Djokovic's 34-match winning streak at the All England Club all in one fell swoop by edging him 1-6, 7-6 , 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 in an engaging, back-and-forth final on Sunday. Alcaraz claimed his first title at Wimbledon and second Grand Slam trophy overall.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service "I haven't played a player like him. Ever," said Djokovic, quite a statement from a guy who competed against Federer and Nadal for so long and in so many remarkable matches.The age gap between Alcaraz and the 36-year-old Djokovic, who wiped away tears during the trophy ceremony, was the widest in any men's Slam final since 1974.
They would head to a tiebreaker, Djokovic's dominion: He had won all six such set-enders he played at Wimbledon leading up to the final, and 15 straight in Grand Slam action.
"If I would have lost that set, probably I couldn't lift the trophy," Alcaraz said."I probably could have lost in three sets."It began to feel memorable. But Djokovic did not go away. He raised his level again, pushing this terrific tussle to a fifth set.
