Wimbledon 2024 men’s singles final result: Carlos Alcaraz retains his title with a straight sets triumph over seven-time champion Novak Djokovic on Centre Court

Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic in straight sets to retain his Wimbledon crown and win a fourth Grand Slam.

Read our report below.

Carlos says it is a dream for him. He recalls saying it as a kid and loves that he has realised that childhood hope of winning Wimbledon (again).

He describes Wimbledon as the most beautiful tournament, court and trophy.

He discusses blowing the three match points and says Djokovic is an unbelievable fighter. He admits it was a difficult moment but tried to stay calm and play his best tennis in the tie break. He was glad he found solutions in the end.

He doesn't consider himself as a champion in the same way as Djokovic (Federer and Nadal) - yet - but wants to keep building his path and his journey.

He praises Novak for his rapid recovery to reach the final and touches upon the England-Spain Euros final, joking that he's done his job, over to La Roja now.

It's worth remembering Djoker only had knee surgery three weeks prior to the commencement of the tournament. To even play at the All-England Club is impressive but to reach the final is rather incredible really....

Nole says it's not the result he wanted and that the first couple of sets were not up to par from his perspective. However, he credits Carlos for playing 'complete tennis.'

He says he tried to push him by saving the three match points but it was not meant to be. He admits the Spaniard is a deserved winner today.

He discusses his recovery from the knee injury and while the result is raw now he will be proud of playing in a 10th final and for his efforts to get back on court so quickly.

Carlos Alcaraz is a Wimbledon champion once again.

The Spaniard successfully defends his title, once again downing the 24-time major winner, Djokovic in a repeat of last year’s final.

Carlitos somehow recovered from blowing three match points at 5-4 to seal it on his fourth MP by a 7-4 scoreline in the breaker in what was a high-class two hours and 27 minutes.

It is the No.3 seed’s second title in SW19 and his fourth major overall, following on from the French Open he won in Paris last month.

Alcaraz rolls a very make-able pass into the tramlines to miss a huge early chance but gets on the board with a bullet 1-2 punch down the middle.

Djokovic arrows what is usually a trademark backhand into the net and is the first to cough up a mini break when Alcaraz sizzles a forehand down the line.

A clutch serve re-focuses the 24-time major winner and he’s level at the change of ends as Alcaraz skews a backhand wide.

Credit to Carlos Alcaraz.

The youngster’s head could be all over the place, but he finds the plus-one off the forehand and another clutch serve to do the heavy lifting.

An impish drop volley is simply too good and has Nole applauding its genius before the Serb returns long to close the game to love.

It’s the perfect lift for Carlitos heading into the breaker.

From serving for the title to serving to stay in it.

Alcaraz can’t bite straight back as Nole holds to 15 to crank up more pressure on the 21-year-old.

It’s a disaster for Alcaraz.

The Spaniard has thrown away three match points and butchers another error into the net to allow Novak to break back.

The final was almost over. Can the defending champion reset his mind to avoid going into a fourth set?

DEUCE! - The Spaniard has the title on his racquet but drills a drive volley wide...

BREAK POINT - IT's another error wide off the forehand.

Lifeline Novak!

15-0 - Djokovic arrows a backhand wide.

30-0 - A huge serve down the T is too hot-to-handle.

40-0 - A one-two punch off a low slice is picked up into the net.

40-15 - A double fault!

40-30 - a tight error into the net off Nole's sharp return...

Alcaraz senses the moment to go big on the return and a 106 mph forehand down the line lays down the gauntlet.

A succession of big forehands then breach Nole’s defences again before an improvised, snatch volley clocks up triple break point.

Djokovic punches away a volley to fend off one but is undone again by another brilliant backhand crosscourt pass.

Alcaraz will now serve for the title.

That’s more like it from Carlitos.

The Spaniard lands the first serve more regularly and secures the cushion of 40-0 with a rasping plus-one off the crosscourt forehand.

Djokovic offers a brief riposte with a volley at the net but Alcaraz’s fifth ace eases him level at what is now the business end of the set.

Djokovic has got that Mojo flowing on serve now and he faces little resistance en route to an emphatic love hold.

It’s the first major test on the Alcaraz serve – but he eventually comes out unscathed following a 10-plus-minute examination.

Djokovic throws the kitchen sink at the defending champion but fluffs another backhand volley at the net and then sizzles a forecourt forehand just long.

In both points he was in charge but still manages to hit back from 40-15 to deuce via a drive volley and proactive, attacking tennis.

Nole calls for the crowd to respond and it doesn’t go unnoticed by Alcaraz, who produces a drop-lob combo and raises his arm aloft.

The Serb is unimpressed and earns a BP with a sharp backhand pass with Alcaraz stranded at the net.

The No.3 seed responds with clutch serving and grinds out the hold courtesy of his fourth ace of the afternoon.
