Djokovic was aiming to win a fifth consecutive Wimbledon trophy (which would have equalled Björn Borg and Roger Federer's Open Era record), an eighth title overall (matching Federer's all-time record), and complete the third part of a prospective calendar year Grand Slam.[3] Djokovic's loss was his first on Centre Court in a decade, his last defeat being the 2013 final to Andy Murray, and it was his only loss at the majors that year (he went on to win the US Open). Alcaraz retained the world No. 1 ranking with his victory,[4][5] and became the first player outside the Big Four to win the tournament since Lleyton Hewitt at the 2002 Championships.
