In the Cathedral of tennis, Carlos Alcaraz, with the mastery of an orchestra conductor, silenced Novak Djokovic’s melody with a score that reflected the reality on the court for Alcaraz in the Wimbledon 2024 final: 6-2, 6-2 and 7-6 (4)
Alcaraz, an unstoppable titan, dominated every corner of the court, disarming the Serbian with lightning-fast hits and masterful drop shots. Djokovic, once the lord and master of Wimbledon, was reduced to a mere spectator, unable to respond to the tennis symphony played by the Spaniard.
The match, far from being a mere sporting encounter, became a display of power and precision. Alcaraz, with the serenity of a veteran, controlled the game, while Djokovic, desperate, struggled to find a rhythm that never came.
With the humility of a champion, Novak Djokovic acknowledged the superiority of Carlos Alcaraz after being defeated in the Wimbledon final. The Serbian, who was hoping to equal Roger Federer’s record at the Cathedral of Tennis, was outclassed by Alcaraz, who displayed overwhelming and unstoppable tennis.
Djokovic, aware that victory was elusive, did not hesitate to praise the Spaniard, describing him as “the deserved winner”. These words reflect the respect and admiration that the Serbian feels for the young talent who has burst onto the world of tennis.
“It’s not the result I wanted. I wasn’t good in the first two sets, but he played incredibly, very complete. He did everything right. I tried to extend the match, saving the three match points, but it wasn’t the day. Carlos is the deserved winner,” said Djokovic, who recovered from knee surgery in record time to be here.
“I’m a little bit disappointed, but it’s only been ten minutes, but when I look back in the next few weeks and see what I’ve been through… I’m very satisfied because for me it’s a dream since I was a kid. I’ve tried to remind myself how surreal this feeling is. Every time I step on this court it’s like the first time and I feel like a kid fulfilling a dream,” Djokovic said.
A result that not only crowns him Wimbledon champion for the second consecutive time, but also elevates him to the Olympus of tennis, positioning him as the new “monster” devourer of titles.
