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. The No. 1-ranked Alcaraz prevented Djokovic from what would have been a record-tying eighth title, and fifth in a row, at the grass-court tournament. Djokovic also was kept from claiming his 24th career major. Instead...

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.

As he watched Casper Ruud’s forehand loop into the tram lines, Novak Djokovic dropped to the red Parisian clay, arms and legs splayed out and wide, and started to realize what he had just achieved. This was the moment he won grand slam number 23, surpassing Rafael Nadal at the top of the men’s all-time list. In a golden era for the sport – stretching back to Roger Federer’s first grand slam title 20 years ago – Djokovic has now eclipsed those two rivals to become the greatest male player...

It is Novak’s sport now, no debate, no arguments. After Grand Slam No. 23, a two-week romp in which Djokovic lost all of two sets out of 23 on a surface that is historically his worst, outlasting a cramping Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinal and prompting Casper Ruud to lose his will after an airtight first set in the final, it is not just the weight of history propping up the 2023 men’s French Open champion, but the reality of his longevity.
