CARLOS ALCARAZ has set his sights on joining the sport's all-time greats, after successfully defending his Wimbledon title.

In a mostly one-sided final - with the same protagonists as last year's - he defeated Novak Djokovic, a player he labelled 'Superman' for coming back from knee surgery, 6-2, 6-2, 7-6.

It denied Djokovic a record eighth Wimbledon title and 25th grand slam trophy, with Alcaraz targeting the Serb, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in his quest for major titles.

"At the end of my career, I want to sit at the same table as the big guys," he said. "That's my main goal. That's my dream right now.

"It doesn't matter if I have already won four grand slams at the age of 21. I really want to keep going. I will try to keep winning and end my career with a lot of them.
