“I haven’t played a player like him ever, to be honest,” said Novak Djokovic, who embraced Carlos Alcaraz after the match. Djokovic had won the past three Grand Slams he played in to reach 23 major titles, but Alcaraz, Wimbledon’s newest singles champion, proved on Sunday he is not invincible. With the driving force of a forehand winner, Novak Djokovic slammed his racket into a net post, then quickly picked up the twisted wreckage and sat down. It was an uncharacteristic outburst of rage from the 23-time Grand Slam singles...

The 36-year-old Serbian had been indestructible on Wimbledon’s Centre Court for a decade but on Sunday he finally met his match as he ran out of ideas to stop young gun Alcaraz from hurtling towards the title.

WIMBLEDON, England — Carlos Alcaraz put aside a poor start and surged down the stretch to end Novak Djokovic’s 34-match winning streak at Wimbledon by beating him 1-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 in an engaging, back-and-forth final on Sunday, claiming his first championship at the All England Club and second Grand Slam trophy overall.

After winning five consecutive titles at the All England Club, the Serbian star fell to No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set thriller on Sunday.

Djokovic cruised in the first set, 6-1, but then he lost three of the next four — including the final two after taking a 2-1 lead — and then lost his title as reigning champion when the tournament returns in 2024.

Alcaraz, a 20-year-old from Spain, was ranked as the No. 1 seed entering the tournament, trailing just Djokovic.

WIMBLEDON, England—Days before the Wimbledon men’s final, Novak Djokovic stood on Centre Court and announced that he was still waiting for the next crop of young players to come and challenge him. Djokovic was 36 years old, a 23-time major winner and seemingly still at the height of his powers. “They want to win,” he joked, “but it ain’t happening.” On Sunday, it finally happened: Carlos Alcaraz, the 20-year-old magician from Spain, came to Centre Court and took down Novak Djokovic in a 4-hour, 42-minute epic, 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, 3-6,...

Along the way, he’s tried his hand at investing, including helping build and sell a craft beer-company.

Before they'll face each other in the Wimbledon final today, Djokovic was asked to size up Alcaraz -- and he compared the kid to himself. "He's been incredibly successful in adapting to the surfaces and [to the] demands and challenges of opponents on a given day," Djokovic said. "I see this as a great trait, as a great virtue. I see this as one of my biggest strengths throughout my career, that I was able to constantly develop, adapt and adjust my game, depending on the challenges, basically. That's what...
