Carlos Alcaraz claimed victory in the men’s singles final at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, securing his second consecutive title. Novak Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, was defeated by Alcaraz with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4).
This became Alcaraz’s fourth major trophy, and also helped him complete the “Channel Double” since he also claimed the French Open title last month. He is just the sixth man to do so in the Open Era, and the first since since Djokovic in 2021.
In the initial two sets, the Spanish star exhibited absolute dominance, yet Djokovic adapted and retaliated in the third set. Alcaraz encountered a few unsteady first serves, but managed to maintain composure and utilized his mighty forehand to halt Djokovic’s surge.
At the age of 21, Alcaraz has surpassed the Big 3 in terms of major titles won before turning 22. Rafael Nadal, his fellow countryman, had three titles, whereas Djokovic and Roger Federer had only managed to secure one each.
Federer, who has retired, currently holds the record for the most Wimbledon titles with eight victories at the prestigious tennis tournament (2003–2007, 2009, 2012, 2017). Djokovic is only one title away from equaling this remarkable feat.
The women’s singles final was decided on Saturday, with No. 31 Barbora Krejčíková prevailing 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 over No. 7 Jasmine Paolini to earn her first Wimbledon title and her first singles’ title since the 2021 French Open.
Krejčíková’s path to a Wimbledon championship, which included an upset victory over No. 4 Elena Rybakina, came at the end of an unpredictable women’s competition. Last year’s winner Markéta Vondroušová was upset in the first round. Australian Open winner Aryna Sabalenka withdrew from Wimbledon due to a right shoulder injury. Then, World No. 1 Iga Swiatek lost to Yulia Putintseva in the third round.
Another big shock was seeing No. 2 Coco Gauff fall to Emma Navarro in straight sets in the round of 16. The quarterfinals saw Navarro struggle to compete against No. 7 seed Jasmine Paolini, the Italian star who reached the French Open final last month.
We appreciate your support throughout the tournament. We look forward to meeting you in New York for the US Open.
