Wimbledon 2024 men’s final LIVE RESULT: Carlos Alcaraz BEATS Novak Djokovic in straight sets to win second title

That's all folks!

Wimbledon 2024 is now in the history books, with Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova taking home the singles titles.

It was also a good day 14 for Hsieh Su-wei and Jan Zielinski, who beat Santiago Gonzalez and Guiliana Olmos to triumph in the mixed doubles.

Brit Alfie Hewett also had a day to remember, triumphing in the wheelchair singles and doubles, and in doing so completing the career Grand Slam!

For another 12 months, that's it from the All England Club.

A pretty penny

Carlos Alcaraz has pocketed £2.7million for winning Wimbledon, while Novak Djokovic will take home a cool £1.4m for reaching the final.

Here's how much all 128 participants in each singles draw took home for their efforts at the 2024 Championships.

Carlos Alcaraz on Novak Djokovic

Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz has labelled Novak Djokovic "Superman" - despite trouncing the Serbian on Centre Court.

The 21-year-old said: " I still believe that Novak is Superman because what he has done this tournament with a surgery just a few weeks before the tournament begun. It is amazing. It is unbelievable.

"Honestly, as I said on court, I was talking to my team that the work that Novak has done has been unbelievable. Gave himself the chance to be able to play the tournament and making the final, it's something out of this world for me.

"I beat him today, but for me Novak is still being like a Superman."

Carlos the Great

Alcaraz gets to four Grand Slams by the age of 21 - that is quicker than Federer, Nadal or Djokovic.

His reaction? "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, it doesn't matter.

I really want to keep going. I will try to keep winning and end my career with a lot of them.

"Everything we have done already has been unbelievable, an amazing journey so far.

"I don't know what is my limit. I don't want to think about it. I just want to keep enjoying my moment, just to keep dreaming. So let's see if at the end of my career it's going to be 25, 30, 15, four. I don't know."

Must be a Djok

Annabel Croft had Wimbledon fans in hysterics with a cheeky comment on Centre Court.

And she even raised a cackle from beaten finalist Novak Djokovic.

The Serbian, 37, was handily beaten 6-2 6-2 7-6 by Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon men's singles final.

After picking up his runners-up plate, he stopped to chat with the BBC's Croft on court.

The former world No24 began: "Novak I know this is not the result you wanted, you were up against such a hot, talented opponent in Carlos Alcaraz…"

At this point, the crowd burst out laughing at Croft, 58, calling the Spaniard "hot".

She saw the funny side and began chortling herself, as did Djokovic.

Get Eng there, Nick

Nick Kyrgios ditched his suit for an England hoodie just moments after the Wimbledon final.

The Australian, 29, was on commentary duties for BBC TV this afternoon - and brushed up in a pale suit.

But within moments, he was on air in an England hoodie - plus a Three Lions scarf.

Kyrgios said: "I packed it just in case Novak went down, I need to uplift the programme a bit.

"I've got my scarf, I've been on the hunt for the last two days, I sent my agent to go into the city to get me some merchandise.

"Look I'm Aussie but I will be backing the Brits tonight."

Over to Eu, lads

Carlos Alcaraz delivered a cheeky five-word comment to the Spanish football team ahead of the Euro 2024 final.

Alcaraz retained his Wimbledon crown in scintillating fashion.

The Spaniard demolished Novak Djokovic 6-2 6-2 7-6 in under two-and-a-half hours on Centre Court.

And that completed half of what could be an epic Sporting Sunday double for Spain.

Because Spain take on England in Berlin tonight in the Euro 2024 final.

Annabel Croft brought up the topic up of the football in front of the English crowd - prompting a smattering of playful boos.

But Alcaraz had a defiant message to his compatriots.

He said: "I've already done my job so let's see about the football.

"I'll watch with my team for, sure, I don't know where but I will be watching.

"It will be a really difficult match, I'll watch and let's see who wins the Euros."

Alcaraz was 'so nervous'

Alcaraz added: "I'm so nervous in this speech and I forgot to have some words for Novak and his team. It's been a difficult few weeks for you.

"You had surgery after the French Open and you didn't know if you could make the tournament and you made the final.

"It is something difficult to realise that you played points and matches just two weeks after your surgery. Great job and keep going.

"My team and family, everyone up there supporting. It's been an amazing four weeks. I've practised hard.

"All the support every day, every week. It's unbelievable to have you there. Thank you very much and hopefully we'll have more times like this."

More from Novak...

Djokovic: "It obviously was not the result I wanted but of course in the first couple of sets the level of tennis wasn’t up to par from my side.

"But credit to Carlos for playing elite tennis, especially from the back of the court, he had it all today.

"It wasn’t meant to be, I tried to extend the match, but he was an absolute deserved winner today so congratulations for him.

"And to his team of course, an amazing job you guys are doing, it’s a one man show on the court but it's a big team of people.

"Everything you’ve done so far, 21 years of age is incredible, so keep going, we’ll see a lot of you I'm sure."

Carlos knows how to win this crowd over even more

Alcaraz - who wins the French Open-Wimbledon double just like Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and his idol Rafael Nadal - says: "The most beautiful tournament, the most beautiful court and of course the most beautiful trophy.

"It was 40-0 but I seemed so far away still - Djokovic is an unbelievable fighter. I tried to win the point with my serve but I couldn't. I had to stay positive and play my best tennis in the tie-break.

"I'm really happy."

Asked about the football, he adds: "I've done my job. I will be watching."

Then quizzed on his dancing skills ahead of the Champions Ball, a sheepish Alcaraz also says: "Could be better."

Not a dry eye in the house

Djokovic: "To my wife, I love you! To my wonderful children, Tara and Stefan, thank you for bringing a smile to my face.

"I keep tearing up seeing them here. I am so thankful to be a father of these two little angels who are starting to love tennis.

"I don't know if I have the nerves to continue being his coach but if you have the will to pursue tennis, son, I'll be there for you."

Carlos is hot, hot, hot

Djokovic comes to get his runner-up plate - for the third time and a repeat of scenes from a year ago.

And then it's time for the champion, Carlos Alcaraz.

He gets his hands on the Wimbledon trophy again - and his fourth Grand Slam overall from four finals.

Then laughter around Centre Court as Annabel Croft starts the interview with Djokovic by telling him the Spaniard was "hot" today.

She takes it well and clarifies by saying he was on fire.

'Carlos you're a beautiful beast'

You're not wrong, whoever shouted that out.

Time for the trophy ceremony - and it's a wonderful ovation again for Princess Kate.

Team game

Alcaraz shakes hands with Keothavong then heads straight up to celebrate the moment with his team, including his parents and coach Juan Carlos Ferrero.

He did not play at his best for six rounds, here.

But boy did he turn on the style today.

That was scintillating stuff from Alcaraz.

Two hours and 27 minutes of sheer brilliance.

It's all over

Alcaraz drops his racquet then raises his arms aloft.

Apart from the nightmare game from 40-0 up at 5-4 in the third, that was an utter dismantling job from Carlos Alcaraz.

The two men share a long embrace at the net - Djokovic is always very magnanimous in defeat.

Wimbledon simply love this exciting Spaniard.

Alcaraz* 6-2 6-2 6-6 [3-3] Djokovic

Alcaraz thinks he gets the immediate mini-break when he chases down the drop volley and whips a forehand up the line - but it was just wide, confirmed by the challenge. 1-0 Djokovic.

Emphatic serve and forehand. 1-1.

Djokovic and Alcaraz going toe to toe from the baseline... Djokovic nets the backhand. 2-1 Alcaraz.

Alcaraz steps on to the short ball and crunches a forehand on the line - Djokovic thinks about the challenge but doesn't bother, accepting that was simply too good. 3-1 Alcaraz.

Strong wide serve. 3-2 Alcaraz.

Alcaraz marches to the chair believing it's 4-2 - but it's 3-3 because his backhand was millimetres wide. He challenges but is now out of challenges. 3-3.

Alcaraz 6-2 6-2 6-6 Djokovic*

Suddenly Alcaraz is out to serve to stay in the set as the sunshine beams down on this historic theatre of sport.

A forehand winner settles him. As does a whopper of a 122mph serve.

Oh my word. I let out a gasp, there, as Alcaraz somehow pulls off a backhand drop-half-volley that creeps over and in. Stunning.

Djokovic goes for broke on the second-serve return and it's out.

Tie-break...

Alcaraz* 6-2 6-2 5-6 Djokovic

Djokovic gets to 15-0 and 30-0 and the crowd are really with him now. It would be very Djokovician to come back and win, wouldn't it?

Alcaraz stops the seven-point rot with a flashing forehand return cross-court winner.

But Djokovic's big T serve takes him to 40-15 before Alcaraz misses a backhand return.

The Serb guarantees himself at least a tie-break.

Djokovic saves three match points and breaks back - Alcaraz 6-2 6-2 5-5 Djokovic*

Djokovic is out of his seat with 30 seconds of the changeover remaining - a defiant signal or given up?

He then pushes a regular backhand up the line well wide. 15-0.

Huge T serve. 30-0.

Alcaraz slices one across and Djokovic chases it but nets... 40-0.

Three Championship points...

Let second serve as Djokovic returned long... double fault! The drama! 40-15...

Fine deep return off the second serve and Alcaraz nets. 40-30.

Will it be third time lucky?

Let! Let again! Huge first serve, Djokovic scrambles it back in somehow but an idiot yells out before Alcaraz's drive volley and it is wide.

Then Alcaraz shanks a forehand agonisingly wide! Break point...

Alcaraz nets a forehand and somehow, somehow, somehow, Djokovic is still alive and breaks back.

Incredible. I cannot believe what I have just seen.

Alcaraz breaks - Alcaraz* 6-2 6-2 5-4 Djokovic

Whoosh. Alcaraz tees on and that forehand whizzes through the court. Oh how he would love to break here...

The Spaniard then crunches a return on to the baseline and Djokovic's wild yell emphasises how big a shot that was to handle.

Alcaraz knows this could be the moment - even more so when he whips a forehand drive volley past a stranded Serb.

Three break points...

The first goes begging but he gets the second.

A superb backhand cross-court pass and Alcaraz will serve for the match!

Alcaraz 6-2 6-2 4-4 Djokovic*

Alcaraz pelts a forehand winner on the opening point.

Then a big serve gets him to 30-0.

Another forehand flies past the Serb and into the back fence. 40-0.

Alcaraz thinks Djokovic's volley is long and almost stops before realising - and has only one precious challenge left. Djokovic puts an easy smash away.

Ace out wide. Game.

Crunch time, now.

Alcaraz* 6-2 6-2 3-4 Djokovic

A quickfire hold for Djokovic and the pressure back on Alcaraz so soon after a hold.

The only thing stopping Djokovic in that game was an idiot shouting out before his serve at 40-0.

He puts it behind him to produce a deft half-volley which Alcaraz sprints to but can only force wide.

Speaking of putting things behind them, Jack Grealish is in the house - on the day he wishes he was playing in the Euros final.

Alcaraz 6-2 6-2 3-3 Djokovic*

Thrilling opening rally. But again it is Alcaraz who comes out on top as Djokovic pushes the forehand narrowly wide.

Another tough one for the Serb to take - although he will be buoyed by the fact his return at 15-0 is so good he doesn't have to play another shot.

Speaking of which, Alcaraz does well to stay in the 15-15 point but it looks to be curtains when Djokovic has a backhand volley on top of the net - but somehow dumps the ball down into it.

I've never seen Djokovic so bad at the net before. Ever.

He then goes needlessly long with a forehand approach when he should make it 30-30. It was tight - but it shows just how much he is being forced into trying anything to get control of the match.

Djokovic leaves one as Alcaraz goes for an audacious forehand - and it lands millimetres wide, the incorrect Spaniard's challenge prompting plenty of oooohs.

He challenges again when his 133mph wide 'ace' is called out and is suddenly down to one challenge left for the set. Djokovic gets the winner and the crowd erupts - he is calling on them to give him a lift.

But it is Alcaraz getting the love on the next bonkers point, culminating in Djokovic missing a backhand smash.

"Nole, Nole, Nole" chants in support of Djokovic. A far cry from Monday's boos.

At deuce, it is Alcaraz's turn to be a sitting duck at the net as Djokovic finds the pass to set up break point... what a serve from Alcaraz.

This Centre Court crowd are desperate for Djokovic to make a match of this...

Alcaraz does not want that. He's only got four hours until kick-off in Berlin - and his 134mph serve down the middle show he's in a hurry.

But again he comes in and is passed by the Djokovic backhand. Deuce.

Alcaraz with the huge plus-one forehand then an ace. Big hold.

Alcaraz* 6-2 6-2 2-3 Djokovic

Alcaraz just goes long with a lob attempt before booming a forehand way long. 30-0.

Good strong serve. 40-0.

Copy and paste job. Game.
