Spanish sensation Carlos Alcaraz retained his Wimbledon title, emphatically beating seven-time Champion Novak Djokovic again, this time in straight sets to win his fourth Slam at the tender age of 21. Last month he beat Alexander Zerev in five sets to win the French Open at Roland-Garros to become the youngest player in history to win the ‘Surface Slam’, with titles on the three surfaces- hardcourt (US Open in 2022),grass and clay.  Victory at SW19 on Sunday also meant he is the youngest man  in the open Era to win the ‘Channel Slam’.

Carlos signed my sketch at this year’s Cinch Championships at London’s Queen’s Club. He collected £2,700,000 for winning The Championships. Nice pay day for seven matches in a fortnight.
