Carlos Alcaraz's 2023 triumph marked the end of a glittering era as it was the first time none of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray was crowned Wimbledon men's singles champion in 20 years.
The Spanish sensation prevailed again in 2024 to become the youngest player to complete the Channel Slam in the Open Era, having conquered the French Open six weeks prior.
Djokovic had been the man to dominate the tournament prior to Alcaraz's emergence. The Serbian is still striving for an eighth Wimbledon victory, 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 last appeared in the SW19 showpiece all the way back in 2010.
The revered Murray reached his third final at Wimbledon in 2016, where he defeated Milos Raonic in straight sets to lift the prestigious Championship Trophy for a second time.
