A Dominant Performance

In a match that saw Alcaraz at his best, the 21-year-old dominated Djokovic from the outset. Alcaraz converted five of the 14 break points he earned, delivering a stunning performance on return. Despite a late scare in the third set, where he let slip three championship points at 5-4, 40/0, Alcaraz held firm in the tie-break to close out the match. The two-hour, 27-minute encounter was a testament to his resilience and ability to perform under pressure.

Historic Achievements

With this victory, Alcaraz became just the second man in the Open Era to win his first four Grand Slam finals, following in the footsteps of Roger Federer, who won his first seven. Additionally, Alcaraz is the sixth man in the Open Era to complete the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double in the same year, joining an elite list that includes Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, Rafael Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic.
