Carlos Alcaraz Triumphs at Wimbledon 2024: A Historic Victory
Carlos Alcaraz won Wimbledon 2024. He defeated Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz became the fourth man in Open Era to reach multiple Wimbledon finals aged 21 or under. He is the second youngest after Nadal to reach back-to-back finals at the SW19. He becomes the sixth man to achieve the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double. With this he joins the elite club of Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. He becomes the youngest back-to-back men’s singles winner at Wimbledon since Boris Becker in 1986.
Federer’s has record for the most Wimbledon titles (8) in the Open Era.
Djokovic is now the only man in tennis history to win all four Grand Slams at least three times. He is also officially tied with Serena Williams with 23 major titles. The overall record of 24 titles — men’s and women’s — still belongs to Margaret Court.
LEARNING FROM HOME/ WITHOUT CLASSES/ BASICS
The French Open is played on clay, which owes its red colour to the crushed brick which forms the upper layer of the surface. There are three layers in all – one of limestone, one of clinker, and one of stone – as well as drainage pipes. Clay is the slowest of surfaces. Along with the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open, the French Open is one of the four historic tennis tournaments which make up the legendary Grand Slam.
The four tournaments played on different surfaces: Plexi cushion in Australia, clay at Roland Garros, grass at Wimbledon, and Decoturf at the US Open. The Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open are the four Grand Slam tournaments. The Grand Slam itinerary consists of the
Australian Open in mid-January, the French Open in May/June, Wimbledon in June/July, and the US Open in August/September.
