Carlos Alcaraz stunned Novak Djokovic in a five-set thriller to win his first Wimbledon title and end the Serbian’s 34-match winning streak in Wimbledon on Sunday, July 16.

Alcaraz prevailed over the Serbian after four hours and 12 minutes of high-quality tennis that had the crowd on the edge of their seats.

Djokovic had his sights set on clinching his eighth Wimbledon title, which would have had him tied with Roger Federer. However, Alcaraz's unwavering determination and exceptional performance caught the Serbian superstar off guard.

Despite having triumphed in all previous tiebreakers at the 2023 Wimbledon, Djokovic faltered in the crucial one during the second set against Alcaraz. The World No.2 did bounce back in the fourth set, but couldn't hold onto the momentum in front of Alcaraz's dynamic strength and innovative style of play in the final set.

The crowd at Centre Court gave both players a standing ovation for their epic performance.
