LONDON — Defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz has beaten seven-time champion Novak Djokovic in straight sets to win a second consecutive title at the All England Club. Alcaraz's 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) victory on Sunday was much easier than his five-set win against Djokovic in the 2023 final. The 21-year-old Alcaraz earned his fourth Grand Slam title. And he prevented the 37-year-old Djokovic from claiming an eighth Wimbledon championship to tie Roger Federer for the men's record. A Djokovic victory also would have given him his 25th Grand Slam singles trophy to break a tie with Margaret Court for the most in tennis history. Djokovic had knee surgery last month.
