Spain's Carlos Alcaraz demolished Serbia's Novak Djokovic in the Men's Wimbledon Final yesterday, crushing the legend 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4).
Djokovic has not been in his best form since having knee surgery one and a half months ago after tearing his meniscus during the French Open in early June, and he was carrying a brace on his knee the entire match. He also hopped and gingerly moved his feet in a couple of points-- a three-week recovery from a meniscus surgery is extremely tough, and to make it to the Wimbledon final after that is extraordinary on its own. Right at the start, Alcaraz came in steaming hot, blasting through the first two sets. However, he slipped up in the third set, giving away a 40-love lead while at 5-4, allowing Djokovic to catch up and make it 5-5. They then went to the tiebreaker, where the match ended after a serve from Alcaraz ended up in the net after the return from Djokovic.
This makes Alcaraz 4-0 in Grand Slam finals, and he has won four Grand Slams already-- at just 21 years old. He is just getting started, and thousands of tennis fans are already excited to see the skills he displays in the future. Meanwhile, if Djokovic had won, he would have tied Roger Federer's record of eight Wimbledon wins, while also beating the record of the most Grand Slams won by any tennis player-- reaching an astounding 25 wins. However, it seems that his time is coming to an end-- the 37-year-old is clearly not at his best anymore.
On another note, US Presidential candidate Donald Trump was shot on Saturday when giving a speech at a campaign rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Additionally, one rally attendee was killed, and two others were critically injured. The gunman was also killed by Secret Service snipers.
The shooter was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, aged 20. He worked as a dietary aide at a nursing home. There is currently no information as to why he attempted a murder. His dad was a Republican, his mom was a Democrat, and he was a Republican.
The attendee who was killed was identified as Corey Comperatore, aged 50. He died protecting his family from the onslaught of bullets. He was a staunch Republican, according to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
The event brought many prominent figures to say something. Biden said to reports, "There's no place in America for this kind of violence. It's sick." Billionaires Elon Musk and Bill Ackman have also endorsed Trump after the incident.
After the whole escapade, Trump arrived at Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention on Sunday. During the event, he will be formally nominated as the Republican nominee for the presidential race.
Trump is expected to announce his running mate during the convention. As we have mentioned before, he is considering U.S. Senators J.D. Vance and Tim Scott, as well as North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. He is also considering U.S. Senator Marco Rubio.
