London [UK], July 14 (ANI): Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz won his second consecutive Wimbledon title after beating Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4) at the centre court in London on Sunday.
The Spaniard became only the sixth man to win the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back.
The Spanish tennis player started off well and took command of the match as he won the set 6-2 against the Serbian. The first set was one-sided after Alcaraz received a double break and ended it in 41 minutes.
Alcaraz kept his momentum and won the second set 6-2. Djokovic was struggling in the second set and failed to make a comeback.
The Serbian tennis player tried to bounce back in the third set but Alcaraz didn’t let go easily. Djokovic started well in the third set and gave a tough fight to his opponent but the Spaniard gave a tough fight and forced the match into the tiebreak. Alcaraz kept his nerves cool and won the tiebreak 7-4.
The Spaniard dominated the game from the very first moment and won the Wimbledon 2024 final in straight three sets.
Alcaraz was up against fourth-seeded Daniil Medvedev in the semi-final. Despite losing the first set, the Spaniard made a strong comeback to win 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Second-seeded Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, beat Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets 6-4, 7-6, 6-4 to make the summit clash.
