Carlos Alcaraz surged down the stretch to end Nova Djokovic’s 34-match winning streak at the All England Club by edging him 1-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 in the final on Sunday, claiming his first championship at Wimbledon and second Grand Slam trophy overall.
The No. 1-ranked Alcaraz prevented No. 2 Djokovic from collecting a record-tying eighth title, and fifth in a row at the tournament.
Djokovic also was kept from earning a 24th career major. Djokovic was clearly unhappy with how things turned out. After going down in the fifth set to Carlos Alcaraz two games to one, Djokovic threw his racquet at the side of the net, which resulted in his second violation that day.
