The World number 1 ranked player also became the fifth youngest man to clinch a second major title in the open Era. He also became the third youngest player in Open Era to win Wimbledon before turning 21 with the other two being Bjorn Borg and Boris Becker. In addition, Alcaraz became the second youngest player to beat Djokovic in a major.

Alcaraz, who was playing just his fifth competition on the grass court got familiar with the conditions quickly and ousted the 36-year-old Djokovic who has won the Wimbleton seven times overall. The Serb was chasing his record-extending 24th Grand Slam title this was the first Wimbledon win for Alcaraz.

During a game that stretched for almost five hours, a lot of nail-biting moments transpired but in the end, Alcaraz ended up dominating the game against a veteran player who last lost a final here in 2013 against Andy Murray. Prior to this, the head-to-head contest between Djokovic and Alcaraz stood at 1-1 but the two of them had never met on a grass court before. The win makes it 2-1 in favour of Alcaraz.
