Watch: Novak Djokovic’s wife Jelena and son Stefan congratulate Carlos Alcaraz after Wimbledon win

After Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic to lift the Wimbledon Championship on Sunday, there was a heartwarming moment when both Djokovic’s wife Jelena and son Stefan congratulated the young Spanish star.

After Djokovic lost the battle, the Serbian admitted that Alcaraz was a class apart and he had never faced a player quite like the Spaniard.
“I didn’t expect him to play so well this year on grass, but he’s proven he’s the best player in the world,” Djokovic said after his loss.
“I haven’t played a player like him ever, to be honest. I think people have been talking in the past 12 months or so about his game consing of certain elements from Roger, Rafa, and myself. I would agree with that.
“He’s got basically the best of all three worlds. He’s got this Spanish bull mentality, fighting spirit and incredible defence that we’ve seen with Rafa. I think he’s got some nice sliding backhands, some similarities with my backhands.
“He is a complete player.”
Meanwhile, Alcaraz, after his win said, “I did it for myself, not for tennis generation, honestly. It was great.”
“Beating Novak at his best, in this stage, making hory, being the guy to beat him after 10 years unbeaten on that court, is amazing for me. It’s something that I will never forget, that’s for sure.
“It’s great for the new generation, as well, I think to see me beating him and making them think that they are capable to do it as well. It’s great for me and I think for the young players, as well.”
