Carlos Alcaraz is already Wimbledon champion. The Spanish tennis player has conquered one of the temples of this sport to lift his second Grand Slam in a tight final against Novak Djokovic. The Murcian is already a legend and, as such, has been recognized by renowned figures from the country.
He even joked with King Felipe VI, whom he asked to always attend his tournaments because that would mean his triumph. At the moment, they are two of two. The monarch let out a laugh and later recognized him for what he had just achieved. Of course, another of those who immediately congratulated him is Rafa Nadal, who already sees in him a worthy successor to his legacy.
“Congratulations @carlosalcaraz. You have given us immense joy today and I am sure that our pioneer in Spanish tennis, Manolo Santana, has also been cheering wherever he is, such as Wimbledon, whom you have joined today. A very big hug and enjoy the moment Champion!!!”, wrote the Manacorí on his social networks.

The reaction of the international press: “Sir Alcaraz”
In France, L’Equipe opens its web portal to full screen, with the headline “Sir Alcaraz”. The Guardian, one of the most prestigious English media, surrendered to the level shown by the two: “Carlos Alcaraz defeats Novak Djokovic to win the title in a final for posterity“. Bild praises Alcaraz’s punches: “Djokovic, dethroned after hallucinating“. In the same line, the Gazzetta dello Sport: “Wimbledon has a new king”.
Carlos Alcaraz’s feat will go down in posterity. Not only as the third youngest winner in the Open Era after Becker and Borg, but as one of the days indicated in the takeoff of what seems to be a legendary tennis player. This is recognized by the world and the international press. Alcaraz, the new king of Wimbledon.
