What a moment for young Carlos Alcaraz as he beats the master of Wimbledon-Novak Djokovic. It takes some effort to take that trophy from the hands of Djokovic…. Well played Alcaraz. The new #Wimbledon #Champion 🏆👏

The No. 1-ranked Alcaraz prevented Djokovic from what would have been a record-tying eighth title, and fifth in a row, at the grass-court tournament. Djokovic also was kept from claiming his 24th career major.
Instead of Djokovic, a 36-year-old from Serbia, becoming the oldest male champion at Wimbledon in the Open era, Alcaraz, a 20-year-old from Spain, became the third-youngest. The age gap between the two was the widest in any men’s Slam final since 1974.
