The youngest among the number one tennis players, Alcaraz, who already had the 2022 United States Open on his accountthat’s how he lifted his second Grand Slam trophy in his third appearance in London, on a surface, grass, that he barely knew until recently.

Murcian writes his name next to the name of the greatest, showing that nerves are a thing of the past and that it is not that he is ready to compete against Djokovic, but that at 20 years old he is in a position to say that now is better.

The game saw the Spaniards go from less to more… and much more, while 36-year-old Serbianthe man with the most Grand Slam titles in the history of tennis, ended up disturbedto the extent that he smashed the racket against the net post due to frustration.

This was it first Wimbledon final for Alcaraz and ninth for Djokovicwho has not lost on this center court since he was defeated in the 2013 final by Andy Murray.

The Serbian also wanted to achieve his dream of winning four Grand Slams in the same year, after being crowned at the Australian Open and Roland Garros.

But after losing to him in the Paris semi-finals in June due to nerves, the Spaniard said this final was “no time to be afraid, you have to go for it”.

ATP number one, Alcaraz is the fifth Spaniard to win Wimbledon, with the gold cup already the biggest title of his career. (D)
