Its a sheer luck that post Rafael Nadal, another Spanish player is going up the ranks to be the very best in the world of Tennis. Carlos Alcaraz’s quick rise to the top has generated a lot of interest among lovers of the game.
Novak Djokovic is bidding for his record-tying eighth Wimbledon singles championship and fifth in a row. Alcaraz is trying for his first trophy at the All England Club.
Alcaraz, a 20-year-old from Spain, is ranked No. 1, and Djokovic, a 36-year-old from Serbia, is ranked No. 2. In addition to the Wimbledon trophy, the winner will have the top ATP ranking.
This is a rematch of the showdown between Alcaraz and Djokovic in the French Open semifinals last month.
Carlos Alcaraz won the third set of the Wimbledon final 6-1 against Novak Djokovic on Sunday and leads two sets to one. Djokovic won the first set 6-1 and Alcaraz won the second 7-6 (6).
