As the last ball hit the net, it marked the end of an era in the world of tennis. Novak Djokovic had been dominating this field and the Wimbledon Center court had been his territory for over a decade! However, like how all great things come to an end, Carlos Alcaraz took over the reins after his win at the Wimbledon final against the Djoker.
This match has been highly anticipated by many Tennis fans as Nole and Charly did not seem to even be challenged by any other player in the draw. After smoothly cruising into the finals, both of these legends put up a match that will likely go down in history as one of the most nerve-wracking matches in all of sports.
Carlos Alcaraz beats Novak Djokovic to secure win at Wimbledon
It was quite a rough start for Carlitos as the Serbinator very quickly broke 2 serves in the first set. The world number one had not been seen to be screaming in frustration like this during the entire season, but that is what Novak Djokovic can do to you. After this set, the youngster slowly started to turn the tables around.

The former world number one was going strong this season but this new-generation stunner left the legend stumbling. There were several factors evident in his performance yesterday.

Djokovic had so much at stake and this loss was heart-wrenching for both the icon and many fans. He expressed how much this win meant to him in the post-match interview.
Nole knew that it was a very close match and Carlos Alcaraz was a better player, yet one look at his family in the box pushed him to the edge. To see his sons and his wife, smiling wide and showing their support after his defeat made the Djoker shed tears.
However, this was not in any way the end of his career and Nole looks nowhere near stopping. The Serbinator acknowledges how he now knows that this young Spaniard is likely going to keep giving him a hard time. So, there are more power-packed matches that tennis fans can hope to look out for.
