    Men's singles

    Alcaraz defeated Djokovic to win 2023 Wimbledon 

    Alcaraz entered the record books after winning Wimbledon last year. It was his second Grand Slam title.

    The youngster defied all odds and overcame Novak Djokovic in a nerve-wracking final after four hours and 42 minutes at the All-England Club.

    With a 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 victory, Alcaraz became the first man outside of the 'Big Four' to win Wimbledon since 2002.

    Women's singles

    A record-breaking win for unseeded Vondrousova 

    Marketa Vondrousova humbled Ons Jabeur to win the 2023 Wimbledon women's singles crown.

    Vondrousova beat Jabeur 6-4, 6-4 to clinch her maiden Grand Slam honor.

    Notably, she is the first unseeded player in the Open Era to win the Wimbledon, besides also reaching the final.

    She became the lowest-ranked player (42) to win the Wimbledon women's singles title since the WTA Rankings were introduced.

    Djokovic

    Djokovic eyes these feats

    Djokovic, who recently underwent an operation to repair a torn meniscus, last won Wimbledon in 2022.

    He currently has the joint second-most Wimbledon titles (7) with USA's Pete Sampras.

    Djokovic can equal top-placed Roger Federer, who owns eight Wimbledon titles.

    Djokovic currently has the joint-most major titles (men or women) with Margaret Court (24). He can break this tie with a Wimbledon title.

    Players

    Players to watch out for

    Alcaraz and top seed Jannik Sinner are in the same half of Wimbledon draw. The duo could have potential semi-final clash.

    Djokovic could face Hubert Hurkacz in the quarter-finals.

    Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Andrey Rublev are among the notable stars to watch out for.

    For women, Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, and Jessica Pegula form the top-five seeds, respectively.
