For the first time in 20 years, a player not named Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray was crowned Wimbledon men's singles champion in as Carlos Alcaraz triumphed on the famous Centre Court at SW19 in 2023.
The Spanish sensation prevailed in a five-set thriller against 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, becoming the third youngest man to win Wimbledon in the Open Era after Boris Becker and Bjorn Borg.
Djokovic has been the man to dominate the tournament in recent years. The 37-year-old is striving for an eighth Wimbledon victory in 2024, a total which would draw him level with Federer as the joint-most decorated player in the event's history.
Federer made the last of 22 Wimbledon appearances in 2021, while Nadal is unlikely to feature in this year's tournament as he aims to make an appearance at the Olympics.
Murray last reached the final at Wimbledon in 2016, where he defeated Milos Raonic in straight sets to lift the prestigious Championship Trophy for a second time.
