Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday ended Novak Djokovic’s long reign at Wimbledon with a 1-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 victory to win the All-England Club title for the first time.
The 36-year-old Serbian had been indestructible on Wimbledon’s centre court for a decade, but on Sunday he finally met his match as he ran out of ideas to stop young gun Alcaraz from hurtling towards the title.
In the end, the match delivered all it promised, a see-sawing encounter that saw the pair go toe-to-toe for the best part of five hours.
The final was a rematch of the showdown between the pair in the French Open semi-finals last month, when Alcaraz suffered severe cramping.
Djokovic asserted his authority early, capitalising on Alcaraz’s failure to convert an early break point, and pulling ahead for a 6-1 first-set win.
