‘Honestly it is a dream for me winning this trophy,’ Alcaraz told the star-studded crowd that included A-list celebrities Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts.

‘I did an interview when I was 11 or 12 and said my dream is to win Wimbledon. I’m fulfilling my dream.’

Football fan Alcaraz is now hoping for a double Spanish celebration when Spain take on England in the Euro 2024 final.

‘I’ve already done my job, now let’s see the football,’ he smiled.

After he was presented with the trophy, Alcaraz met with Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte in the Wimbledon members’ area where the pair asked him who his favourite Spanish footballer was.

He then went out onto the Centre Court balcony where he was greeted by the crowd who were chanting ‘vamos, vamos’ in Spanish.

Alcaraz finished off the match in a tense but thrilling third set tiebreak with a devastating second serve.

He then jumped into the players’ box to celebrate with his team and family.

Having elected to receive, Alcaraz showed his intent from the off to break the Serb’s serve in a gruelling 14-minute opening game.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner had no answer to Alcaraz’s power as he broke again to take a commanding 4-1 lead at SW19 before seeing out the first set 6-2.

He then broke Djokovic’s serve twice in the second set to take a commanding two set lead.

Seven-time Wimbledon champion Djokovic fought back in the third and saved three match points after being broken in the ninth game and managed to take the third set to a tiebreak.

But Alcaraz went through the gears once more and claimed victory after Djokovic slammed the ball into the net off a devastating second serve.

A beaming Princess Kate was welcomed onto Centre Court this afternoon to huge cheers and applause.

It was just her second public engagement since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March.

The royal, who opted for a purple dress, is a huge tennis fan and is a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

A cute and confident Charlotte clearly enjoyed her Wimbledon experience as she was spotted clapping and cheering the players on.

Princess Kate arrived at the tennis tournament in SW19 less than an hour before the final was due to begin on Sunday afternoon.

Serbian Djokovic is bidding to become the oldest Wimbledon champion at the age of 37 and with it extend his record-breaking Grand Slam tally to 25.

Alcaraz showed his intent early on during a gruelling 14 minute opening game to break Djokovic’s serve after the Serb had saved four break points.

He then followed that up with hold of serve to 15 in a rapid three minute game that included a venomous 136mph serve.

In a personally-signed message on social media, the princess wrote: ‘An incredible £Wimbledon career comes to an end. You should be so very proud @andy-murray. On behalf of all of us, thank you! C.’

Sir Andy was due to play mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu but the former US Open champion pulled out of the clash, citing stiffness in her right wrist.
