Alcaraz delivers brilliant post-match interview

His tennis was nothing short of stellar, but Alcaraz's winners' speech was also box-office entertainment.

The 20-year-old joked that he would make sure to remember his member's card from now on – a reference to Roger Federer's gaffe last year, which saw the eight-time winner forget to bring his credentials.

But that wasn't even the most amusing part of his interview.

After describing Djokovic as a 'legend' of the game, Alcaraz addressed the 16-year age gap between him and the Serbian.

"You [Djokovic] inspire me a lot," he said. "I started playing tennis after watching you.

"When I was born, you were already winning tournaments. It's amazing - you're probably in better shape than me.

"They say 36 is the new 26 and you've made that happen. It's amazing."

Understandably, the crowd absolutely loved Alcaraz's speech and couldn't contain their laughter, while even Djokovic saw the funny side.

It's brilliant to see so much respect between the two players and hopefully, despite the age gap, this isn't the last Wimbledon final we see between the pair.

How Alcaraz won Wimbledon

This was the final that almost every tennis fan wanted to see and it delivered everything and more.

Alcaraz entered as the world number one and a US Open champion, but Djokovic had not lost on centre-court for more than a decade, dating back to his 2013 final defeat to Andy Murray – who was present in the crowd.

It seemed the Serb would make it an eighth Wimbledon title and a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam, after racing to claim the first set 6-1.

But Alcaraz was not about to let the moment get the better of him.

What followed was more than four hours of scintillating tennis.

Alcaraz took the second set via a tiebreak before the third set produced one of the greatest individual games in the history of the sport. Indeed, with Djokovic serving, Alcaraz eventually broke after almost half an hour and more deuces than you could possibly wish to count.

As has so often been the case, however, Djokovic regrouped and took the fourth set in defiant fashion.

Heading into the decider, you'd be forgiven for thinking the 23-time major champion would be the favourite. Yet, Alcaraz had other ideas.

The 20-year-old proved he is a generational talent with a truly sublime set of tennis – serving out the match with the aura of a man who is used to winning tournaments of this magnitude.

As tradition dictates, Alcaraz ran up the stairs from the court to his box and embraced coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, along with the rest of his team and family.

And as the crowd erupted and Alcaraz soaked in the atmosphere, there was an overwhelming feeling that this certainly won't be the last time he tastes victory on centre-court.
