It's great to win ... making history in this beautiful tournament," Alcaraz said as he cradled the trophy during the presentation ceremony.
[1/7]Spain's Carlos Alcaraz celebrates with the trophy after winning his final match against Serbia's Novak Djokovic.
At 3-3, Djokovic was left rolling on the turf after he stumbled over while chasing down one such effort.
The chants of "Carlos, Carlos, Carlos" rose to a crescendo when, at 3-1 up in the third set, Alcaraz stretched Djokovic to 13 deuces before finally breaking on his seventh break point in a mental and physical battle that dragged on for 26 minutes.
"You played maybe once or twice before this year's Wimbledon on grass and it's amazing just what you did."
