In the SW19 main event, Alcaraz defeated Djokovic 6-2 6-2 7-6 (7-4) to earn his second consecutive victory against the 24-time Grand Slam champion, who appeared nearly helpless.
This outcome also signifies a shift in power in men’s tennis.
Alcaraz, 21, and Jannik Sinner, 22, together have won all three of the Grand Slam events this year.
“I feel like I’m not at that level; both of them are the best this year by far,” said the 24-time Grand Slam victor Djokovic.
I’m going to need to play and feel lot better than I did today if I want to actually have a chance to, you know, defeat these players in the later stages of Grand Slams or the Olympics.”
It is Djokovic’s worst season start since 2006, and he has yet to win a championship this year.
In the Sunday final, Alcaraz outplayed the 37-year-old, producing booming forehand winners, heavy serves, and skillful drop drops.
“I felt like I was inferior on the court today, just overall,” Djokovic stated at his press conference.
