Carlos Alcaraz has successfully defended his Wimbledon men's singles title, defeating Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(4). This victory marks Alcaraz's second consecutive Wimbledon title and his fourth Grand Slam title overall. Alcaraz, who is only 21 years old, has now won his first four Grand Slam finals, a feat previously achieved only by Roger Federer in the Open Era. Additionally, Alcaraz has completed the 'Channel Slam,' winning both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year. This victory also makes him the youngest man to successfully defend any major singles title since Rafael Nadal at the 2007 French Open. The match was watched by a crowd that included the Princess of Wales. Alcaraz's win contributes to a historic sporting double for Spain, with the national football team also winning the Euro 2024 championship on the same day.
