Icaraz thwarted Djokovic's hopes of winning Wimbledon for the 8th time
After falling short of capturing the championship for the eighth time in history in the Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic broke down in tears.
Having won Wimbledon seven times in the past, Djokovic is hoping to do so once more in order to tie Roger Federer and surpass Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam victories.
In accepting the prize as the runner-up, Djokovic claimed that he had just recently realised the frustration his rivals had been feeling four years prior.
Since his loss to Andy Murray in 2013, the 36-year-old Serbian Djokovic has not triumphed in a comparable competition in London.
Despite Novak Djokovic's years-long dominance of the field, the 20-year-old Spaniard Alcaraz defeated the Serbian in five sets, 1-6, 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. It was the young tennis player's second triumph over Djokovic. However, it was her first time winning in London.
The period of Alcaraz, who is ranked first in this field, may be considered to be now after watching how Djokovic has spent all of his years returning to tennis in practically every competition, including Wimbledon, the US Open, Australian Open, and the French Open.
