The Djoker versus the world

But Alcaraz showed his grit in being able to regroup in the tiebreaker and win it.

The significance of the Alcaraz triumph cannot be overestimated.

Kyrgios summed it up well:

'This is the official changing of the guards.'

Alcaraz indeed combines in his all-round-game the best of the three previous dominant players: Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.

The Carlos Alcaraz victory is a huge nail in Djokovic's coffin, if not necessarily the last one.

The Djoker will be anxious to stay in the game longer to break ever more records, in particular to match and exceed Federer's eight-won Wimbledon titles and to win at least one more Grand Slam taking him to 25 singles titles.

This would give him the greatest number of Grand Slam titles in the history of both the men's and women's tennis.

He is not satisfied with already being the holder of the greatest number of records in the history of tennis.

He also wants to make sure that no other tennis player in future could break his numerous records.

But while Federer and Nadal have been treated as lovable Tennis Royalties and the 'young Turk', the Spanish Alcaraz, is increasingly seen as an emerging tennis God, Djokovic keeps being snubbed in the realm of popularity by much of the tennis world, save his Serbian compatriots.

The Djoker is a complex character.
