What is the Next Stop for the Reigning Wimbledon Champion Carlos Alcaraz? What Will Carlos Alcaraz Aim for?

The 2024 Wimbledon Men’s Final was more than just a repeat of last year; The definitive moment for it to become a success story came during the long first play at the start of the match. Novak Djokovic made two unusual mistakes and had his serve broken. Djokovic, who was 37 years old at the time, often sent the ball into the net with slow steps, in a quiet mood and unable to keep up with Carlos Alcaraz’s speed. On the other hand, 21-year-old Alcaraz put in an outstanding performance with powerful serves and difficult-to-defend forehands, while his passing shots were laser-sharp.

The first game might be too early for any conclusions, but Alcaraz dominated play early in the second set, negating Djokovic’s crosscourt backhands and then cynically beating him. Djokovic had failed in Grand Slam finals before, but this time his defeat was due to the superiority of his opponent rather than the game he played.

Even though this is a Grand Slam final and Djokovic is a seven-time Wimbledon champion, the fight continues until the last ball. However, Alcaraz’s superiority while serving at the end of the third set clarified the outcome of the match. Even though Djokovic had tensions on the court in the final points, Alcaraz proved how he performed under pressure.

In the final moments of the match, Alcaraz blocked Djokovic’s comeback with a big serve and thus achieved victory. With this victory, Alcaraz won his fourth Grand Slam title, his second consecutive Wimbledon victory and his first Channel Slam.

Alcaraz stated at the end of the match that Djokovic made mistakes in the first two sets and that he made the most of the situation. Djokovic, on the other hand, praised Alcaraz’s superiority, admitting that he was a better player.

It may be tempting to debate whether the Big 3 era is over. However, Djokovic stated that he is still competitive, touching on his future projects and plans to return to Wimbledon. Sunday’s match marked Alcaraz’s rise to the top and Djokovic’s no longer at the top; It can be seen not as the end of an era, but as the rise of a new champion.
