Carlos Alcaraz improves to 4-0 in Grand Slam finals with victory over Djokovic at Wimbledon

Carlos Alcaraz has won his second consecutive Wimbledon title with a 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) victory over Novak Djokovic on Sunday.

It’s his fourth Grand Slam title, after previously winning the US Open in 2022, Wimbledon last year and Roland Garros last month.

And among all the history, there’s one stat that jumps out—the Spaniard is now 4-0 in his career in Grand Slam finals, making him one of just two men in the Open Era to win their first four major finals in a row, alongside Roger Federer, who won his first seven.

CARLOS ALCARAZ IN GRAND SLAM FINALS (4-0):
2022 US Open F: d. Ruud, 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (1), 6-3
2023 Wimbledon F: d. Djokovic, 1-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4
2024 Roland Garros F: d. Zverev, 6-3, 2-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-2
2024 Wimbledon F: d. Djokovic, 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4)

Federer won finals at Wimbledon in 2003, the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open in 2004, Wimbledon and the US Open in 2005 and the Australian Open in 2006 before finally finishing runner-up to Rafael Nadal at 2006 Roland Garros.

Alcaraz was asked in his press conference about all of the statistics he’s been creating throughout the last few years.

“Well, obviously I’ve seen and I’ve heard all the stats that I am the youngest to win at Roland Garros and Wimbledon the same year, to win whatever. I honestly try not to think about it too much.

“Obviously it’s a really great start of my career, but I have to keep going. I have to keep building my path. At the end of my career, I want to sit at the same table as the big guys. That’s my main goal. That’s my dream right now. It doesn’t matter if I already won four Grand Slams at the age of 21. If I don’t keep going, all these tournaments for me, doesn’t matter. I really want to keep going.

“I will try to keep winning and end my career with a lot of them.”
