Carlos Alcaraz has ended Novak Djokovic’s 34-match winning streak at Wimbledon by beating him in an engaging, back-and-forth final to win his first championship at the All England Club.
WIMBLEDON, England — Carlos Alcaraz said he wanted another shot at Novak Djokovic. Said it would make winning a Wimbledon championship more special. Well, Alcaraz got his chance to face Djokovic. And he beat him.
People are also reading… So Alcaraz had youth on his side, which he also did, of course, when they met at the French Open last month. That one was extraordinary for two sets before Alcaraz cramped up and faded. This time, he had the stamina and the strokes to get past Djokovic. Yet it was Alcaraz who won a 32-point, 25-minute mini-masterpiece of a game on the way to taking the third set. And it was Alcaraz who was not intimidated when Djokovic forced things to a fifth set.
Sure, Alcaraz quickly earned a break point, but a long backhand return of a 127 mph serve erased that. Another too-far backhand and a netted return gave Djokovic that game. In the next, Alcaraz missed three forehands to gift-wrap a break and a 2-0 lead to Djokovic.
