ALCARAZ REPLAYS DREAM

Spaniard demolishes Djokovic to retain Wimbledon title and lift fourth Major crown
-
Spain's Carlos Alcaraz produced an utterly ruthless performance to dismantle Serbia's Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4) in a rematch of the 2023 Wimbledon final to retain his title on July 14.
Alcaraz now has four Grand Slam trophies with a perfect record in Major finals, including his US Open victory in 2022 and his French Open win in June. Defeat denied Djokovic a 25th Grand Slam title to surpass Margaret Court in the alltime list and also equal Swiss Roger Federer's haul of eight men's singles titles at Wimbledon.
"It's a dream for me, winning this trophy," said Alcaraz, who became the ninth man to retain his Wimbledon title in the professional era.
"In an interview when I was 11 or 12, I said my dream was to win Wimbledon, so I'm replaying my dream.
"I want to keep going but it's a great feeling to play on this beautiful court and to lift this amazing trophy. This is the most beautiful tournament, most beautiful court and most beautiful trophy."
