In recent years, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have dominated men’s tennis. Now, it could be time to add a fourth member to the “Big Three.” On Sunday at the men’s final at Wimbledon, Carlos Alcaraz repeated as champion, defeating Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(4) in two hours and 27 minutes.

I don’t consider myself a champion yet, not like them. But I’ll keep going, build my path and my journey.” Alcaraz, who now has four Grand Slam titles, is clearly entering his prime. In 2024, the 21-year-old has raised his game, posting a 26-6 record and raking in more than $4.5M in prize money. Of course, 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic deserves credit for making it to the final. The 37-year-old Serbian underwent surgery on a torn right meniscus on June 5 and was expected to miss Wimbledon. However, Alcaraz was the better player throughout the match. According to IBM’s SlamTracker, he hit 42 winners, compared to 24 for Djokovic. He also captured 73% of the match’s net points. “(Alcaraz) was an absolutely deserved winner today so huge congratulations to him for amazing tennis,” Djokovic said following the match, per Matthews. “And to his team, of course, his family, an amazing job you guys are doing. It’s a one-man show when you’re on court, but it’s a big team around so far. He’s only 21, so keep it going — we’ll see a lot of you, I’m sure.” It’s still early in his career, but Alcaraz should consider purchasing a bigger trophy case. He seems destined to win more titles. As of Sunday, FanDuel gives him the best U.S. Open odds (+145). More must-reads: Get the latest news and rumors, customized to your favorite sports and teams. Emailed daily. Always free!
