Tim Henman, a former ATP star, discussed Alcaraz’s performance in the Wimbledon final in an interview. He spoke about it and said: “To be honest, it was a crushing defeat for 6-2, 6-2, 5-4 (40-0). Alcaraz was just phenomenal. The tone was set in that first service game from Djokovic; it was a 14- or 15-minute game. Alcaraz was able to get that break of serve and then he was just relentless. He didn’t give Djokovic anything to sink his teeth into. We were just waiting for the reaction; we were waiting for Djokovic to react and that didn’t happen until late in the third set when, to be honest, it was a little bit too late.”
