Carlos Alcaraz continued his dream 2024 season with another Grand Slam title after beating Novak Djokovic in the men's singles final of Wimbledon 2024 on Sunday, July 14. The Spanish youngster claimed his second Wimbledon and fourth major title to deny the Serbian legend the record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title.

With his win, the world no.3 also bagged the winner's prize money which shattered the record in any tennis tournament. Alcaraz snapped the record-breaking 2.7 million GBP (INR 28.64 crore) for winning the Wimbledon 2024 men's singles title while runner-up Djokovic won the prize money of 1.4 million GBP (INR 14.8 crore).
