In a five-set thriller worthy of Centre Court legend, Carlos Alcaraz claimed his first Wimbledon title by stunning defending champion Novak Djokovic 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4 on July 16. The final was a rollercoaster Djokovic dominated early, but Alcaraz’s fearless return game flipped the momentum. At 20 years old, he became the first man outside the “Big Four” to lift the Club’s historic trophy since 2002.
