The first game of the match exceeded the 12-minute mark and following that Carlos Alcaraz broke the serve of Novak Djokovic to send a big statement early on. He kept the momentum he gained with that game win intact till the end and as it happened made arguably the most defiant player in the history of the game quit.

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) in the Wimbledon men’s final Sunday to collect his fourth Grand Slam title at age 21. It was a rematch of last year’s championship match on the grass of the All England Club, which Alcaraz won in five sets. This one — played in front of a Centre Court crowd that included Kate, the Princess of Wales, in a rare public appearance since announcing she has cancer — was much easier for Alcaraz, at least until he stumbled while holding three match points as he served for the victory at 5-4 in the third set. Still, Alcaraz regrouped and eventually picked up a second major trophy in a row after last month’s triumph on the clay at the French Open. The Spaniard won his first Slam title at the 2022 U.S. Open as a teenager, and no man ever has collected more Slam hardware before turning 22 than he has.
