Today Carlos Alcaraz dominated Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon Men's Singles final, winning 6-2, 6-2, 7-6. Alcaraz's powerful serve and improved net play overwhelmed Djokovic, who was limited by recent knee surgery. This victory marks Alcaraz's second Wimbledon title and his fourth Grand Slam overall. He joins an elite group of players to win both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year. He is also the youngest ever to achieve the "Surface Slam" by winning Grand Slams on all three major court surfaces - clay, grass, and hard court. For Djokovic, this loss marks his first straight-sets defeat at Wimbledon since 2013.

Novak Djokovic: The Greatest of All Time in Men's Tennis


As of today, June 11th 2023, Novak Djokovic has to be considered the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) in men's tennis. He just won his 23rd Grand Slam singles titles, surpassing Rafael Nadal's total of 22, for the most in the sport's history. Djokovic has also been ranked world No. 1 for a record total of 387 weeks, and he has finished as the year-end No. 1 seven times on the ATP tour, more than any other male tennis player including the likes of Roger Federer, Ivan Lendl, Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe or Björn Borg. Against this list of tennis players, he has won not only more Grand Slam titles than the rest, he’s also the only male player to have won all four Grand Slams twice, i.e., a 'sweep' of all four in one year.
