- Wimbledon 2024 final live: Novak Djokovic rocked on Centre Court
Carlos Alcaraz has won his second successive Wimbledon men's title after defeating Novak Djokovic in straight sets in front of the Princess of Wales and her daughter Charlotte.
The 21-year-old Spaniard won 6-2 6-2 7-6 (7-4) to defend the crown he earned last year and claim his fourth Grand Slam title.
Alcaraz was presented with the trophy on Centre Court by Princess Catherine who has stepped away from royal duties while she undergoes cancer treatment.
'Honestly it is a dream for me winning this trophy,' Alcaraz told the star-studded crowd that included A-list celebrities Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts.
'I did an interview when I was 11 or 12 and said my dream is to win Wimbledon. I'm fulfilling my dream.'

Football fan Alcaraz is now hoping for a double Spanish celebration when Spain take on England in the Euro 2024 final.
'I've already done my job, now let's see the football,' he smiled.
After he was presented with the trophy, Alcaraz met with Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte in the Wimbledon members' area where the pair asked him who his favourite Spanish footballer was.
Alcaraz said 'Alvaro Morata for me' to which Kate replied 'we will have to look out for him'.
He then went out onto the Centre Court balcony where he was greeted by the crowd who were chanting 'vamos, vamos' in Spanish.
Alcaraz finished off the match in a tense but thrilling third set tiebreak with a devastating second serve.
He then jumped into the players' box to celebrate with his team and family.
Having elected to receive, Alcaraz showed his intent from the off to break the Serb's serve in a gruelling 14-minute opening game.
The 24-time Grand Slam winner had no answer to Alcaraz's power as he broke again to take a commanding 4-1 lead at SW19 before seeing out the first set 6-2.
He then broke Djokovic's serve twice in the second set to take a commanding two set lead.
Seven-time Wimbledon champion Djokovic fought back in the third and saved three match points after being broken in the ninth game and managed to take the third set to a tiebreak.
But Alcaraz went through the gears once more and claimed victory after Djokovic slammed the ball into the net off a devastating second serve.

A beaming Princess Kate was welcomed onto Centre Court this afternoon to huge cheers and applause.
It was just her second public engagement since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March.
The royal, who opted for a purple dress, is a huge tennis fan and is a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
A cute and confident Charlotte clearly enjoyed her Wimbledon experience as she was spotted clapping and cheering the players on.
Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte arrived at the tennis tournament in SW19 less than an hour before the final was due to begin on Sunday afternoon.
They were greeted by British players Emma Raducanu, Sonay Kartal, Lily Miyazaki, Lucy Shuker and Flora Johnson.
Charlotte gave wheelchair tennis player Shuker a 'pinky promise' that she would try the sport alongside her mother.
Kate was also introduced to Raducanu, who was knocked out in the fourth round of this year's championships, telling her: 'It was so hard to see you go out.'
US Open winner Raducanu said it was 'amazing' to have the support of the princess and 'see her here looking so healthy and happy'.

While meeting the players, Kate said Charlotte, who was wearing a navy polka dot dress, had been 'practising yesterday' and that tennis was 'really great for the youngsters'.
Kate said she had been 'filling in the leaderboard' with Charlotte during Wimbledon, adding: 'As a family, we play a lot.'
After being asked to try wheelchair tennis by Shuker, Kate said: 'I've tried wheelchair rugby before, but not tennis. You'll have to hold me to that.'
Shuker, the highest ranked British wheelchair women's tennis player, said: 'She was just saying how amazing it's been to watch and follow everyone's career.
'Alfie Hewett won the men's wheelchair tennis earlier. I just asked if they were playing tennis themselves, which they have been, and then said: 'Have you tried wheelchair tennis?'
'And I got a little pinky promise from Princess Charlotte that she would try it.'
Shuker added: 'For me, it's incredibly humbling to be here and to be asked to meet the princess today.'
Discussing her meeting with Kate, Raducanu said: 'It was very nice to see Her Royal Highness again. I've met her twice before, and it was really nice to meet Charlotte as well, because I hadn't before.
'It's amazing to see her be such a champion of tennis and following all of us.
'We just spoke a little bit about my tournament, and the tennis, and also how I missed last year but I was very excited to come back this year. And a little bit about her tennis because she loves it.'
Asked about Kate's appearance at the tournament following her diagnosis, Raducanu said: 'I think it just shows her resilience and how much of a role model she is and it's amazing to see her here looking so healthy and happy.'
Kate has been undergoing chemotherapy and made her first public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London last month.
She did not attend the women's singles final on Saturday, and Wimbledon chairwoman Debbie Jevans presented the trophy to Barbora Krejcikova on her behalf.

Earlier in the tournament, Kate paid tribute to double champion Sir Andy Murray, saying he should be 'so very proud' after he missed out on a final chance at Wimbledon.
In a personally-signed message on social media, the princess wrote: 'An incredible £Wimbledon career comes to an end. You should be so very proud @andy-murray. On behalf of all of us, thank you! C.'
Sir Andy was due to play mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu but the former US Open champion pulled out of the clash, citing stiffness in her right wrist.
Kate visited the championships several times last year and presented Alcaraz with his first Wimbledon trophy after watching him battle Djokovic in the men's singles final.

In a statement released last month, the princess revealed she is making good progress but 'not out of the woods yet' and has 'good days and bad days' as she continues her treatment.
The Prince of Wales, president of the Football Association, will be in Berlin later on Sunday to attend England's Euro 2024 final against Spain.
Some spectators at Wimbledon could be seen wearing white England football shirts at the championships on Sunday morning.
