CNN — Michael Chang - Amber Liu
World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz overcame reigning champion Novak Djokovic in a thrilling five-set men’s final on Sunday to win his first Wimbledon title.
The Spaniard prevailed after nearly five hours on Centre Court, eventually winning 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 6-4, tumbling to the court in celebration before volleying a tennis ball into the crowd.
With the last man to beat Djokovic on Centre Court watching on – Andy Murray defeated him in the 2013 Wimbledon final – he held serve to level the second set in a game that included a 29-shot rally full of bruising shots to save a break point. Djokovic cupped his ear to the crowd after doing so.
Many expected Alcaraz to come out all guns blazing. The 36-year-old reigning champion was on the back foot early on as he faced a break point in the opening game; the resilience Djokovic has become so well-known for saw him through the danger.
