"Thought I Can't Beat Novak Djokovic...": Carlos Alcaraz On Dream Wimbledon Triumph

Entering Sunday's Wimbledon final, Novak Djokovic had not lost a match on Centre Court since 2013. Carlos Alcaraz ended the Serbian's dominance at the grass-court major by capturing a thrilling five-set win. After the win, Carlos Alcaraz said, "Beating Novak, and winning the Wimbledon championship is something that I dreamt about since I started playing tennis." The 20-year-old was ecstatic following his second major triumph and hopes his victory can inspire the next generation on Tour.

As per ATP, Carlos Alcaraz said, “Making history that I did today, it's the happiest moment of my life, I think it's not going to change for a long time. Beating Novak, and winning the Wimbledon championship is something that I dreamt about since I started playing tennis. That's why is the biggest moment of my life."

“Beating Novak at his best, in this stage, making history, being the guy to beat him after 10 years unbeaten on that court, is amazing for me,” the Spaniard later added. “It's something that I will never forget, that's for sure. It's great for the new generation, as well, I think to see me beating him and making them think that they are capable to do it, as well. It's great for me and I think for the young players, as well.”

With his Tour-leading 47th win of the season, Alcaraz became just the fifth man in the Open Era (since 1968) to win multiple major titles prior to turning 21. The Spaniard's victory also means he will begin a 29th week at No. 1 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings on Monday.

His victory against Djokovic shows the continued rapid progress Alcaraz is making. Last month, he lost against the Serbian at Roland Garros, suffering from cramps after the second set.

“I am totally different player than Roland Garros,”
