The GIST: The final Grand Slam tournament before the Olympics did not disappoint, with history made on the grass courts at the All England Club. Truly serving.
No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz defends Wimbledon title: Playing in front of Her Royal Highness, the Spaniard made quick work of seven-time Wimbledon champion No. 2 Novak Djokovic yesterday, posting a straight set victory — complete dominance compared to last year’s five-set championship battle. Yes, Djokovic wasn’t in top form, but Alcaraz was tough to beat from the opening serve.
- The 21-year-old is now just the sixth man in the Open Era to win back-to-back French Open and Wimbledon titles, joining the Big Three — Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer. Safe to say, the next generation has arrived.
No. 31 Barbora Krejčiková secures second career singles Grand Slam victory: Three years after winning her maiden Grand Slam at the French Open, the Czech star conquered the grass with an electric three-set Saturday win over back-to-back Grand Slam finalist Italian No. 7 Jasmine Paolini. Raise your glass to that.
