Carlos Alcaraz has won the Wimbledon men's singles title for the first time by ending Novak Djokovic's recent dominance with a stunning victory.
The 20-year-old fought back from a nervy start to win 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 6-4 against the defending champion.
Djokovic was going for a fifth straight win, an eighth men's triumph and a 24th major - all record-equaling feats.
Alcaraz says it is a dream come true for him adding even if he lost, he would have been proud to be able to play in these stages of these occasions - as a boy of 20 years old - is really fast.
Alcaraz, who won his first Grand Slam title at the US Open last year, celebrated by falling flat on his face after taking his first match point and kicking a ball into the crowd.
The majority of a packed Centre Court, which included the Prince and Princess of Wales, actor Brad Pitt and two-time winner Andy Murray, rose to their feet to acclaim the All England Club's newest champion.
As tradition now dictates, Alcaraz ran up the stairs from the court to his box and embraced coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, along with his family and friends.
