Carlos Alcaraz won at Wimbledona Novak Djokovic. At only 20 years old, the Murcian achieved a 1-6, 7-6 (6), 6-1, 3-6 and 6-4. The ‘break’ that Alcaraz achieved in the third game had consequences in a Novak Djokovic who ended up throwing the racket against one of the wooden sticks that hold the net. The chair umpire for the final, the Irishman Fergus Murphy, warned of the corresponding ‘warning’. However, he did not go beyond a warning because the previous ‘warning’ that he had applied to Djokovic had to do with having exhausted the twenty-five-second serve time, as Mundo Deportivo qualifies.
British media report that Novak Djokovic’s unsportsmanlike conduct will be punished with a fine of $8,000. This fine equals the record of the sanction that was applied to Mirra Andreeva for two racket throws, although with less violence.
“I was frustrated, they had been a couple of very hard points. Alcaraz played incredible to break my serve,” Djokovic explained after the match. Also, after the victory over Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final, Carlos Alcaraz continues to occupy the top spot in the ATP ranking. The young Spanish tennis player, who was crowned champion of the tournament, has managed to extend his lead at the top of the world rankings.
Other tennis players like Kyrgios surrendered to Alcaraz. “He is a geek”, commented the Australian on his social networks as soon as the match between the two finished.
