WIMBLEDON UPDATE: Nick Kyrgios contemplates whether Carlos Alcaraz’s Wimbledon 2024 triumph over Novak Djokovic marks the 1st ‘changing of the guard’ moment in tennis
Carlos Alcaraz’s triumph at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships against Novak Djokovic felt like a possible ‘changing of the guard’ in men’s tennis for Nick Kyrgios. The Spaniard decimated the Serb 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(4) in two hours and 27 minutes to win consecutive titles at SW19.
Alcaraz came into the grass swing high on success after clinching the French Open. He kicked off the swing at the Queen’s Club Championships where he was the defending champion. However, the Spaniard faced a major setback as he was eliminated in the second round by Jack Draper in straight sets.
The World No. 3 headed to Wimbledon next and kicked off his campaign with straight-set wins against Mark Lajal and Aleksandar Vukic in the opening two rounds. He had to dig deep in the third round to oust Frances Tiafoe in a thrilling five-setter. Following this, Alcaraz won three consecutive four-setters against Ugo Humbert, Tommy Paul, and Daniil Medvedev to reach the final.
The 21-year-old decimated the 37-year-old in the opening two sets and though Djokovic saved three consecutive championship points, they were to no avail as the Spaniard clinched the third set tiebreaker to go back-to-back in SW19.Nick Kyrgios questioned on X (formerly Twitter) whether Carlos Alcaraz’s dominating win could be considered a ‘changing of the guard’ moment in men’s tennis.
“Wow. Love Djokovic, but is this maybe the first time we can say the ‘changing of the guard’ ?!?!,” Kyrgios tweeted.
