CARLOS ALCARAZ stamped his authority on Wimbledon by beating Novak Djokovic for the second year in a row to retain his men’s singles title.
After a five-set classic 12 months ago that saw Djokovic dethroned as the king of Centre Court, here it was all over in just two hours and 27 minutes as Alcaraz overcame a late wobble to claim a 6-2 6-2 7-6 (4) victory.
The 21-year-old Spaniard becomes just the second man in the open era after Roger Federer to win his first four grand slam finals, while he has outdone Federer, Djokovic and Rafael Nadal by reaching that landmark before his 22nd birthday.
