Carlos Alcaraz has won the Wimbledon men's singles title, ending Novak Djokovic's winning streak.

The 20-year-old Spaniard beat his Serbian opponent in an epic five set match, 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 6-4, to lift the trophy for the first time.

After overcoming a nervy first set, in which he won only one game, he dug in and produced a series of stunning passing shots to defeat one of the greatest players of all time.

He becomes the youngest man to lift the Challenge Cup since 18-year-old Boris Becker won the second of his three Wimbledon titles in 1986.

It is Alcaraz's second grand slam win after claiming the 2022 US Open. He remains the world number one.

His victory stopped Djokovic from gaining his eighth Wimbledon title, something that would have put him level with Roger Federer.

The Princess of Wales, Prince George and Princess Charlotte were watching from the royal box on Centre Court.

The number two seed was on track for his 24th grand slam win and his fifth consecutive Wimbledon victory in a row - minus the 2020 tournament which was cancelled because of COVID.

Before the match, Alcaraz said that going up against a "legend from our sport" made the final more special.

"I always say if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. Novak is one of them. It would be great if I can do it," he said.

The pair last met on court during the French Open semi-final last month, where Djokovic took the last two sets 6-1, 6-1.

The way you talk, it's very obvious what you are and who you are. I rather play with my cat ya, some animals are more intelligent than human in terms of reasoning and comprehending. So let me play with lolla ya.

Op the club is inter Miami cf and they are at the bottom of US league one. Out of 22 games, they have won just 5; drawn 3 and lost a whopping 14 games. That's the definition of failure. They are in position 29 on table but the Messi effect could make them finish among the position 10.

Inobeyourmate:
Chai! Penaldo fans won't like this oh, I really like how you give them back to back Almiron, those people don't deserve an iota of mercy. I still remember all the trolling when Penaldo won his first major international trophy. And now, he who laughs last, laughs best. MESSI has finally conquered and won everything, and if you start arguing with those deluded individuals now, they will start showing you some useless stats of how their self acclaimed'goat' has more money, has more followers on Instagram, how he jumped into the sky against Sampdoria and how he wrestled against an opponent in Saudi league. Those people lasan, some of them will argue with you like this, e go be like say make you deck am better 2by4 for brain. Either you like it or not, MESSI has achieved everything possible in the world of football, likes of Pele, Maradona, Bincan, Eusebio, Di Stefano and the likes were great, but MESSI is still way above them and will forever be crowned the KING, EMPEROR, OTUN, OSI, BABALOJA of FOOTBALL 💯❤️😘

wiseone28:
Who dey watch that league

Styluss:
Wasted talent, he should have gone to a more competitive league. His signing with MLS is a prerequisite to his certain career oblivion.

Ebony2King:
At his age? But CR7 was at Juvey at this same age.

How Messi decided to play in LGBTQ league at 35+ makes me laugh 😂

Kingcalls:
Saudi league is a million times better than that transgender league

Allylic:
Most people in Florida don't even know who Messi is..Ask around and they will be like what!!!

I wish him well..

Inter Miami have officially announced the signing of seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi on a free transfer.

The 36-year-old's switch to MLS had been confirmed by the player himself last month, ahead of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expiring.

However, Inter Miami have only just officially unveiled the legendary number 10 as their new player, with the announcement coming just hours before their match against St Louis City this evening.

Messi had been courted by Barcelona regarding a blockbuster return to Camp Nou, where he spent 21 years and established himself as one of the greatest players of all time.

The World Cup winner instead chose to end his time in Europe and move to MLS, where he will link up with the David Beckham-owned Miami franchise.

Messi's contract in Miami is understood to be a unique one in the world of football which will see him earn a share of profits from Apple TV's MLS Season Pass and Adidas' kit sales for Inter Miami.

The Argentina international reportedly turned down an even more lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League, which would have seen him feature in direct competition with perennial career rival Cristiano Ronaldo once again.

Messi is expected to make his debut for his new side when they take on Charlotte FC at the DRV PNK Stadium on July 21.

Messi will have work to do if he is to add to his significant trophy cabinet this season, as he joins an Inter Miami side rooted to the bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference after 21 games of their 2023 campaign.

Miami have won just five and lost a league-high 13 games so far this season, while they are winless in their last 10 MLS matches ahead of their trip to St Louis on Saturday night, picking up only three points from a possible 30 in that time.
