Carlos Alcaraz speaking after winning his second Wimbledon title: "Honestly, it is a dream for me winning this trophy. I did an interview when I was 11 and I said my dream is to win Wimbledon. I want it to keep going. It is a great feeling to play on this beautiful court and lift this amazing trophy. It is the most beautiful court and trophy."

Resetting after match points: "It was 40-0 but I was seeing so far away. Djokovic is an unbelievable fighter and I knew he would have his chances again and I tried to win the pioint with the serve, I couldn't. It was difficult for me. I tried to stay calm and positive. In the tie break, I tried to play my best tennis. I was glad I could find the solutions. I'm really happy to be in this situation and playing a great tie-break."

On being sixth man in open era to win the double (French Open and then Wimbledon): "Fighting, believing. I don't know. It is a huge honour for me to be a part of those players. I'm really happy to be at the same table as Novak to do it. Huge champions. I don't consider myself a champion yet. Not like them. I try to keep going and building my path, my journey."

Where will he watching Spain play England in the Euro 2024 final?: "With my team for sure. I don't know where but I'll watch it for sure. I've already done my job so let's see for the football. It's going to be a really difficult match. I'll watch it."

More quotes from Novak Djokovic, who pays tribute to his family and team:

“To my wife, I love you, thank for supporting me and being here. To my wonderful children, thank you for bringing the smile to my face every single day. I keep on tearing up every single year when I look at them on the closing ceremony.

"I'm so thankful to be a father to these two angels who love tennis and they actually start to love tennis more and more. I don’t know if I have the nerves to keep on going with the coaching career to my son, there are a lot of beautiful things in life son, tennis isn’t the only thing, but if you really wish to pursue it I’ll be here for you.

"OK enough talking, I just want to say thank you to my team, thank you for sticking with me through good and bad times. You're probably the only ones who know what we've been through the last months. I love you guys, thanks for being in my corner and thank you very much."

Runner-up Novak Djokovic on being proud of reaching the Wimbledon final, despite coming into the tournament on the back of knee surgery:

"Yes of course I have to be very proud. Obviously there's a little disappointment right now as we’re talking 10 minutes after the match finished, but when I reflect I'm sure the last four, five weeks and really what I've been through along with my team and family, I have to say I'm very satisfied.

"Because Wimbledon was always a childhood dream of mine and to be here on the centre stage - I try to remind myself how serene it is to be here, every single time I step on this court it feels like the first time so I’m a child, living my childhood dream so once again, thank you."

Runner-up Novak Djokovic pays tribute to winner Carlos Alcaraz:

"It obviously was not the result I wanted but of course in the first couple of sets the level of tennis wasn’t up to par from my side. But credit to Carlos for playing elite tennis, especially from the back of the court, he had it all today.

"It wasn’t meant to be, I tried to extend the match, but he was an absolute deserved winner today so congratulations for him.

"And to his team of course, an amazing job you guys are doing, it’s a one man show on the court but it's a big team of people. Everything you’ve done so far, 21 years of age is incredible, so keep going, we’ll see a lot of you I'm sure."

Right, who wants some quotes from the two finalists?

Carlos Alcaraz began this year's Wimbledon with straight-set wins over qualifier Mark Lajal and Aleksandar Vukic.

He narrowly avoided a shock loss to Frances Tiafoe in the third round, eventually winning in five sets.

The Spaniard dropped a set in his first three matches after that scare, against seeds Ugo Humbert, Tommy Paul and Daniil Medvedev who he beat in the semi-finals.

And in the final he was superb against an out-of-sorts Novak Djokovic.

Carlos Alcaraz is just 21 years old. He was born in May, 2003.

Boris Becker is the youngest ever Wimbledon winner, taking the title aged 17 and then retaining it the following year.

Bjorn Borg is the only other player to have won Wimbledon twice before the age of 22.

Alcaraz (21 years, 70 days) is the third-youngest player in the Open Era to win the men’s singles title at Wimbledon in back-to-back editions, after Becker (18 years, 227 days, 1985-86) and Borg (21 years, 26 days, 1976-77).

Carlos Alcaraz is talking about what this success means to him. Full quotes from both players coming up shortly.

Carlos Alcaraz has become the ninth man to retain his Wimbledon title in the Open era.

Novak Djokovic was the last player to do so, winning in both 2021 and 2022.

Also on the list is Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, Boris Becker, John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, John Newcombe and Rod Laver.

Spaniard Rafael Nadal never won consecutive Wimbledon titles.

What a moment. Somewhere in the middle was Carlos Alcaraz, with his team and family celebrating around him.

Carlos Alcaraz got a bit lost on his way to the player box - but he was able to high-five the ESPN pundits as he clambered over the roof to get to his friends and family.

Don't forget there were two great champions on this court. Still Djokovic can't equal Federer on eight or overhaul Margaret Court's record of 25, but those are records for another day.

The green carpet gets unrolled, the microphone is in place and out comes the table, covered in the British flag with the trophy sitting on the top.
