Wimbledon 2024: Ruthless Carlos Alcaraz Decimates Novak Djokovic To Defend Crown | India Today

big news coming in from the sports fraternity Wimbledon 20124 champion is Carlos alarin a young man all of 21 years of age Carlos has managed to win his second wimbl title it's a backto back Victory clearly for him and remember to De defeat jovic in three straight sets clearly is history in many ways as well let's go across immediately to India today's sports editor nikil n joining me for the latest Nel this is quite incredible how were the sets like what exactly happened and a second Victory coming in for Carlos and against Noak jovic well that's right Puja even now you'll have to say remember uh caros alaras was uh the defending champion of Wim yet he went into this final as the underdog that's simply because of the kind of reputation that Novak jovic comes with remember the most grand slam for a men's player in the history of tennis belongs to no jokovic he stands at 24 and this is only the fourth Grand Slam title that Carlos alcaras has won if my if my memory serves me correct since 2011 uh that's the year and why do I refer to 2011 that's the year we saw the birth of Novak jovic 2.0 2011 is the time that he started dominating the tennis Arena from 2011 and we're sitting in 2024 13 years later I cannot see or I can cannot remember any player dominate him on the court like Carlos alas did today so it's not that Novak jokovic hasn't lost in these 13 years that I'm talking about but I cannot remember any player dominate him like this and beat him in a final in straight sets like Carlos alaras did today let me just put it into perspective what I'm talking about we have a 21 year old versus a 37 year old the difference between their age is 16 years 16 years is how old yam Lin yamal is the Superstar of euroo so that's the gap between alarz and Novak jovic in terms of age so this is this young gun who's really coming onto the stage versus The King The King that is on the tennis court and the way that he's dominated him today I think today marks the day of passing on the baiton last time also he beat Novak jovic in the final but many thought that that could have been a flu that is a one-off remember caros Saras won the US Open 2022 then he won the French Open he won the Wimbleton 23 French Open in 24 you said okay Clay is not jovic's surface Clay is alar a Surface so no one was taking it seriously but now to into to backto back Wimbledon beating Novak jokovic in a final at that on both occasions says a lot about his you know because young players whoa come and we all talk about their talent it's the mental fortitude it's the mental strength that is sometime missing in players but that's exactly what alar has shown to beat Novak jokovic in back-to-back finals I think the new Prince has arrived I won't call him the king but the king is is fading away with a knee injury you saw him wearing a brace on his knee Novak jokovic clearly not 100% the king is fading away at 37 and the prince really has arrived at 21 well both clearly still the masters of the game and you're right that in many ways this is as much about talent but it is also keeping a certain mental strength because you're up against jokovic who clearly has a history as a winner but you tell me then when you defeat the king twice and this time again 62 6276 where does this place this young player Carlos alar is in the coming years and or possibly already with regard to The Wimbledon Victory well see he's already won uh two backto back Wimbledon titles and I can you know there are a handful players in the history of the sport that have managed to do it now look at look at it from Novak jovit perspective he was gunning to win The Wimbledon title for the record eight times he would have equaled Roger fed's record he's already won he was still in open 10 times most by any players but he was going to equal Roger fed's alltime C of eight wien title seven is what Noak joku has won he's denied him that he's won two titles and if you're trying to ask him where he is in in history of tennis it actually takes me back to 2008 we saw a young Rafael Nadal and why making a comparison both Spaniards you had a r Rafael Nadal after losing in 2007 to Roger feder in the final of the Wimbledon came back to next year in 2008 and won The Wimbledon title beating the King on court in on grass quat in a Roger Federal and then from there on it started that Federal Nadal rivalry uh you know so it actually reminds me quite of that because alar is also a Spaniard winning his second Wimbledon title but thereare I say a Nadal finished with only two wimbl in titles this young man with the prowess that he has on Clay coat with the ability that he's showing on grass coat I think there are more than two Wimbledon titles there under his belt and and a lot more Grand Slam going forward so his the prin again uh there was a situation if you look at this match third set he was serving and then was 14 nil up so you had three Championship points and from there on lost that game and you thought okay you know this is Novak jovic's time this is going to go to a tiebreaker from there Novak jokovic is going to reain Supreme if he gets that one set but then he got his composure ear back ear in that game got his composure back and then in the tiebreaker which is crunch time in the third set came out Victorious against uh Novak jich I think no tennis fan even if he's a Noak Joker FID fan will will anyway deny this to alarz because clearly the better player on the day has won if you look at them shot to shot temperament to temperament today on the day as great as Novak jovic is Carlos alarz was clearly the better player on the day and that is why he deserves that
