The third set was the only one that was competitive, with Djokovic finally finding his rhythm and forcing a tiebreaker. However, Alcaraz was able to hold off Djokovic’s charge, winning the tiebreaker 7-4 to take the set and the match.
In the post-match interview, Alcaraz credited his victory to his preparation and his ability to stay focused throughout the match. "I knew it was going to be a tough match, but I was ready for it," he said. "I stayed focused and played my game, and it paid off."
Djokovic, meanwhile, was gracious in defeat, praising Alcaraz’s performance and acknowledging that he was outplayed. "Carlos played an incredible match," he said. "He was the better player today, and I have to congratulate him on his victory."
The win marks a significant milestone for Alcaraz, who has now won two Grand Slam titles in his young career. He will look to continue his dominance in the coming years, with many expecting him to be a major force in the sport for years to come.
