Iga Świątek and Billie Jean King were among the stars who congratulated Carlos Alcaraz on social media Sunday after the Spaniard defeated Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final.
“Huuuge congratulations @BKrejcikova and @carlosalcaraz for amazing two weeks and your titles!” Swiatek posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Alcaraz is now a four-time major champion, having also won the 2022 US Open, 2023 Wimbledon and 2024 Roland Garros trophies. The Spaniard reached the four-Slam milestone quicker than Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
The Spaniard is now locked in a tight battle for ATP Year-End No. 1 presented by PIF honours with rival Jannik Sinner.
