"Honestly, it is a dream for me winning this trophy. I did an interview when I was 11 and I said my dream is to win Wimbledon. I want it to keep going. It is a great feeling to play on this beautiful court and lift this amazing trophy. It is the most beautiful court and trophy", Carlos Alzaraz said in the post match interview.
Runner up Novak Djokovic paid tribute to winner Carlos Alcaraz.
"It obviously was not the result I wanted but of course in the first couple of sets the level of tennis wasn’t up to par from my side. But credit to Carlos for playing elite tennis, especially from the back of the court, he had it all today.
"It wasn’t meant to be, I tried to extend the match, but he was an absolute deserved winner today so congratulations for him", he said.
Not to forget that 37-year-old Novak Djokovic has won 24 Grand Slams, including Wimbledon Championship title a record seven times in 18 appearances.
