Carlos Alcaraz is the new king of Wimbledon after ending the reign of defending champion Novak Djokovic. The Princess of Wales presented Alcarez with his first Wimbledon championship trophy on Sunday (July 16).
LONDON — In a brilliant, gutsy performance Sunday in the Wimbledon final, world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz won his second Grand Slam title in less than a year, defeating seven-time Wimbledon champ Novak Djokovic 1-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 and ending the 36-year-old Serbian's quest for the calendar Grand Slam in 2023.
World number one Alcaraz recovered from dropping the first set and saving a set point in the second to win 1-6, 7-6 (8/6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 after four hours and 42 minutes on Centre Court.

Carlos Alcaraz heralded the changing of the guard in men's tennis as he ended Novak Djokovic's long reign at Wimbledon with a rip-roaring 1-6 7-6(6) 6-1 3-6 6-4 victory to win the All England Club title for the first time.
Tennis legend Leander Paes feels India will find it tough in singles but the country can hope to win a medal in the Asian Games with the men's doubles team though it remains to be seen who is picked to play alongside the seasoned Rohan Bopanna. "In the Asian Games, in men's doubles we have a good opportunity of doing well. We have multiple options of teams in the doubles. We have got quite a few players who can play," Paes said during an event on the eve of the Wimbledon men's final here on Sunday.
Britain’s Alfie Hewett lost to Tokito Oda in the Wimbledon men’s wheelchair singles final on Sunday, missing the chance to complete a career Grand Slam. The 25-year-old came up short against the pre-tournament No. 1 seed at SW19, losing to the Japanese teenager 6-4 6-2.
Novak Djokovic will be facing Carlos Alcaraz in the men's singles final of Wimbledon 2023 where history and potentially a generational shift are on the line. Djokovic is attempting to equal Roger Federer's record of eight titles at the All England Club and match Margaret Court's all-time mark of 24 Grand Slam crowns. Having already pocketed the Australian Open and French Open in 2023, victory on Sunday will put the 36-year-old just one major away from completing the first men's calendar Grand Slam since 1969.
