Wimbledon news: Tennis row erupts over Chinese player as Alcaraz deals Djokovic snub
Carlos Alcaraz is still adjusting to the idea of not only being Wimbledon champion but also a two-time winner after his incredible five-set triumph over Novak Djokovic on Centre Court last Sunday. The 20-year-old claimed his first title on grass over the seven-time champion, while Marketa Vondrousova pulled off an upset in the women’s final to seal her first Grand Slam in her career.
Even days after the tournament has finished, Wimbledon fever continues to sweep tennis fans unabound as details emerge from how Alcaraz ended Djokovic’s 35-game winning run at SW19.
The Spaniard’s tactics in the build-up to the final have emerged, with reports his camp ‘spied’ on the Serbian to gain intel about his preparation, but when it came to matching Djokovic pound for pound, Alcaraz had the energy and confidence. Tennis fans will be hoping it is only the start of a new rivalry to match what the Serbian had with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Similarly, Vondrousova’s career is taking a turn for the better after she broke in the top 10 of the WTA rankings. The Czech downed Ons Jabeur, leaving the Tunisian in tears after a second consecutive final defeat, and she can look forward to building on her success.
