Wimbledon repeats its last champion in the men’s category. As in 2023, Carlos Alcaraz managed to defend the Wimbledon title after beating Novak Djokovic in three sets of 6-2, 6-2 and 7-6(4).

After the victory, the Hispanic made his feelings known at the foot of the track. “It’s a dream for me to win this trophy. When I was 11 or 12 years old, in an interview, I said that my dream was to win Wimbledon. I repeat my dream and I want to continue. It’s a great feeling to play on this beautiful court, it’s an incredible trophy, it’s the most beautiful tournament ” he began to emphasize.

“I had a 40-0, but I saw it from very far away. Djokovic is an incredible fighter, I knew he was going to have his chances again, so I had to be there. I couldn’t win any points with my serve, it was difficult for me, but I tried to stay calm and positive in that situation. In the decisive game I tried to play my best tennis, that’s all I thought about. I’m happy that I was able to find the solutions and be in those situations. Very happy with myself decisive game ” he commented on the definition of the third partial.

“It’s an honour to be among the players who won Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same year. It’s incredible to be at the same table as Novak and other great champions. I still don’t consider myself a champion, not like them, but I try to continue building my path. It’s a great honor for me “He continued.

Then he acknowledged the effort Djokovic put in after reaching the final after struggling with injuries. “These last few weeks have been tough for you, you did an incredible job after the operation. I didn’t know if you were going to be able to play this tournament that you love, and to get to the final feeling good physically, it’s incredible, I talked about it with my team, which is something difficult to achieve. I have great respect for you and your team. Great job and keep it up “.

“And of course, to my team and my family, to everyone who supports me, it’s been four incredible weeks preparing for this tournament, training hard to feel like I have a chance to get a good result here. All the support, every day, away from home and my family, but I keep learning from all of you,” Alcaraz concluded.

For his part, Novak Djokovic commented that “Obviously not the result I wanted, especially in the first two sets my tennis level was not up to par . Thanks to Carlos, he played incredible tennis, very complete from the baseline and on serve, he had everything today. I tried to push him by saving three match points to extend the match, but he deserves to have won today. Congratulations for this incredible tennis, and also to your team. Juan Carlos and everyone, you are doing a great job. When you are on the court, it is an individual show, but there is a great team behind it, and family, everything you have done so far, and he is only 21 years old, it is incredible, keep it up and we will see you a lot,” he said.

“I have to be very proud, I’m a little disappointed because the game just ended, but when I think back on these last four weeks and everything I’ve experienced with my team and my family, I have to say I’m very satisfied. Wimbledon has been a dream since I was little and I have always wanted to be here, the feeling of being here is surreal and I have won many matches here. But every time I go out on the court it feels like the first time. “I am living a childhood dream,” he added.

Finally, he thanked the family. “To my wife, I love you, thank you for supporting me and being there. To my wonderful children, thank you for making me smile every day. I still cry every year when I see them at the ceremony, it’s incredible to have them and I am very grateful to these two angels who love tennis more and more. I don’t know if I have the patience to train my son. There are many more beautiful things in life, but if you decide to pursue the tennis dream, I will be there. I want to thank my entire team, thank you for staying by my side through thick and thin, we know what we have been through in recent years, I have been with some of them for 20 years, thank you for staying in my corner and this must continue,” concluded the Serbian.
