The Carlos Alcaraz Era Begins After Wimbledon Win Over Novak Djokovic

It didn’t seem possible at first, with the Spaniard looking every bit the raw 20-year-old player that he is. Novak Djokovic, the reigning seven-time champion, won the first set 6-1 before Alcaraz roared back and took down the 36-year-old legend with speed, powerful serves and gutsy shot-making. The back-and-forth, five-set match won’t soon be forgotten, a thriller that left Djokovic saying “I haven’t played a player like Alcaraz, ever," and fans hoping we've seen the birth of an epic rivalry.
