Four Grand Slam finals and four titles - Carlos Alcaraz continues to excel at the biggest tournaments, and today he defended his title at Wimbledon.

And in what way - the young Spanish tennis player completely outplayed Novak Djokovic and won 3:0 (6:2, 6:2, 7:6).

Alkaras played a phenomenal match, served brilliantly, did not allow Djokovic to threaten him at any moment and fully deservedly reached the new cup.

On the other hand, Djokovic made a lot of mistakes, he only started to play well in the third set, but it was too late for a turnaround.

Alkaras already indicated at the start that he will ask about everything - in the first game, which lasted 14 minutes, Alkaras used the fifth break point and took a 1:0 lead.

Then he once again took Djokovic's serve and reached the lead in sets.

The second set was identical to the first - the Spaniard made a break in the first game, then in the seventh game he realized a break point, led 2:0 in the sets and came one step away from defending the title.

Djokovic woke up in the third set, won some games without losing a point, and then allowed Alcaraz to break in the ninth game.

The Spaniard led 5:4, in the next game he had 40:0 and three match points, but Djokovic pulled away, broke back, equalized and brought the third set into a tie-break, in which Alkaras managed to bring the match to an end.

In his career, the Spaniard won Wimbledon twice, Roland Garros and the US Open once.
