Djokovic, the Australian Open and French Open champion, was on course to match Federer's record by winning his eighth Wimbledon title. He also attempted to match Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 slams and become the oldest men's champion at the All England Club, but was turned down by Alcaraz. Alcaraz was four years and nine months old when Djokovic won his first major title at the Australian Open in 2008.
Following in the footsteps of Manuel Santana in 1966 and Nadal in 2008 and 2010, Alcaraz told Djokovic after becoming the third Spanish winner of the title, "You inspire me a lot. I started playing tennis watching you. Ever since I was born You were already winning tournaments. It's amazing," he smiled after hitting 66 winners over the Serb, making up for his 45 unforced errors. I just fell in love with grass. It's amazing."
