After two weeks of overwhelming emotions, Wimbledon 2024 came to an end, with two deserving champions. Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova emerge as the great victors of the third Grand Slam of the year, and interesting conclusions can be drawn from what happened in London. One of those tournaments that can be remembered forever has ended, not only for the final result but also for the opportunities it can create. Wimbledon 2024 offers many conclusions to analyze, shedding light especially on two figures: Carlos Alcaraz, who secures his fourth Grand Slam and defends the title he won last year, and Barbora Krejcikova, who returns to the spotlight with remarkable tennis, proving that her success in Paris years ago was no coincidence.

1. Carlos Alcaraz, destined to conquer the historic summit of tennis Words fall short to describe the greatness of what Carlos is accomplishing. He has reached his fourth Grand Slam final, secured his fourth title, defended the crown at Wimbledon, achieved a memorable Paris and London double, but above all, he gives the impression that these are just the first steps of a historic career.

2. Novak Djokovic, commendable merit and fuel to keep fighting The Serbian must derive a very positive balance from his time in London. Despite initial doubts about his ability to compete, he managed to recover from a serious knee injury requiring surgery and not only reached the final but also demonstrated an ideal starting point for regaining his best form. Knowing Djokovic's response to such defeats, he is sure to come back stronger.

3. Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner, worthy alternatives to the two legends The Russian and the Italian appear to be the only men capable of challenging Djokovic and Alcaraz at the moment. Their clash in the quarterfinals was a great match, and they are fully capable of competing for another significant title, as they did in Australia. Positive signs for upcoming events.

4. Lorenzo Musetti pushes his limits and excites Few would have expected the young Italian to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam this early, let alone at Wimbledon. He had a fantastic tournament, showing that he could be a contender for significant achievements in the future, even on a surface he has adapted well to.

5. Concerning injuries of key players Hurkacz, Zverev, De Miñaur, and Dimitrov have faced physical issues that jeopardize their participation in future important events and significantly hindered their chances of success at Wimbledon.

6. Barbora Krejcikova returns to her best form The Czech tennis player has put an end to several years of wandering in the wilderness following her success in Paris. Her performance at Wimbledon has been spectacular, indicating that she has all it takes to continue triumphing.

7. Jasmine Paolini narrows the gap to deserved glory The sudden and unexpected rise of the Italian player this season has been remarkable. Despite losing two Grand Slam finals in a little over a month, she is getting closer to achieving her goal with each attempt, captivating fans with her playing style and charisma.

8. Iga Swiatek, unable to shine on grass The Polish player still struggles to find her comfort zone on this surface, and arriving fatigued physically and mentally from the clay court season clearly hinders her ability to adapt and excel on grass. Her early exit in the first week was a major disappointment that could affect the confidence of the world number one.

9. Disappointment from the favorites The early exits of Swiatek and the inability of Sabalenka to compete raised expectations for players like Gauff, Rybakina, and Pegula. However, none of them managed to perform at their best level and missed out on a title that seemed within reach for one of them.

10. Green shoots of success in top figures Svitolina and Vekic reached late rounds and showed promising signs, as did Emma Raducanu and Paula Badosa, two players engaged in a slow but promising process of recovery, both in terms of competitive form and confidence, following numerous physical challenges.
