Centre Court was the place to be today. By far the hottest ticket in town, that's for sure.

The BBC Sport cameras were busy celeb-spotting during the men's singles final. Here's who they found...

It’s about the whole team. Juan Carlos Ferrero has worked with Carlos Alcaraz since he was 16 and was an incredible player himself.

It’s just ingraining those good habits.

He goes out there and he’s an incredible competitor. Against one of the greats he’s been able to come out on top and win the title.

It’s why his attitude on the court is so good and it’s why we believe he’s going to win many more titles.

But Britain's 61-year wait for a boys' singles champion at Wimbledon is over, after Henry Searle beat Russian Yaroslav Demin 6-4 6-4 in front of a buoyant Court One crowd.

Earlier today, Britain's Alfie Hewett was denied his first wheelchair men's singles title at Wimbledon by 17-year-old world number one Tokito Oda of Japan.

It means seven-time major champion Hewett's will have to wait and try to complete a career Grand Slam in singles next year.

There were so many to choose from, but here are some of the highlights and key moments in the 2023 men's singles final.

Given the circumstances of this match and given Djokovic’s record, Alcaraz came in with nothing to lose. Once you get a break up in the fifth you’ve got something to lose. That’s a lead and psychologically I think it just switches. We were all watching at 5-4 in the fifth serving for the final for the first time, what’s going to happen, but to have the audacity to play the drop shot those first two points was incredible.

Players back themselves and say ‘this is the way I’m going to play and I’m going to go out and win it.' He wasn’t distracted by that bad drop shot but then he backed it up.

This was the biggest game of his life.

We are witnessing the changing of the guard. The new generation is here.

Novak Djokovic has arrived at his press conference. He's still thinking about those backhands he missed in the second-set tie-break.

Novak Djokovic's wait for a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam, matching Margaret Court's all-time leading total, will go on until at least September.

And he will have to try again next year at Wimbledon to secure an eighth title and equal Roger Federer’s record for most men’s singles titles at the All England Club.

A wounded Djokovic could prove a frightening prospect in the months ahead.

Carlos Alcaraz makes you feel things, whether you are in the stands or a fellow player.

I have seen this in the locker room where you have players crowding around a TV to watch when they are playing, and Alcaraz is that guy.

We're rubbing out eyes trying to believe what he's doing.

Maybe Djokovic didn't play his best for the full five sets - of course he didn't. But there were spells where he was piling the pressure on, and Alcaraz just answered them all.

Carlos Alcaraz won his first Grand Slam title at the US Open last year, becoming the youngest world number one in history in November 2022.

But prior to this year, the Spaniard had only won four professional matches on grass.

He then secured his first title on the surface at Queen's last month, before this title-winning run at Wimbledon.

I think we can safely assume he quite likes playing on grass now.

On stardom in Spain: It is huge and with Nadal leading the way for so long, we are looking for the future generations in the sport.

They have been incredible ambassadors for our sport, and when you talk about the role models really trying to influence the younger generation, we’ve been spoiled in both the men’s and the women’s game. Carlos Alcaraz is going to be fantastic to lead the way in men’s tennis going forward.

After that remarkable men's final on Centre Court, the women's doubles final has just started.

Who will be the final champions crowned at the 2023 Championships?

Third seeds Elise Mertens and Storm Hunter are taking on Barbora Strycova and Hsieh Su-wei.

You can follow that live on BBC Two and at the top of this page.

It had all the hype - and it delivered.

A scintillating Centre Court showdown for the ages.

He is highlight reel that’s going to bring so many new people - youngsters, people who have not been involved in tennis for a long time. He is so fresh.

The last champion to win the Wimbledon men's singles title that was not named Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray or Rafael Nadal was Australian Lleyton Hewitt, way back in 2002.

Just the 21 years later, Carlos Alcaraz has his name on the trophy.

It's the first new name to be added to the list of champions since Andy Murray won his first title in 2013.

People in the UK needed to see it. Lots of tennis fans have seen Carlos Alcaraz over the last 18 months but when we were trying to describe what an extraordinary presence this man had, what an amazing athlete he was.

He hadn't quite burst outside the tennis bubble when he won the US Open but I always thought that when he performs on the grass courts at Wimbledon, then suddenly we have the supporting evidence that we need.

We don't need to explain to people any longer.

Carlos Alcaraz is the first player to defeat Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon since Tomas Berdych in the 2017 quarter-finals.

That was 2,195 days ago.

And even then, that was because Djokovic was forced to retire from the match.

It's also only the second time Novak Djokovic has been beaten in five sets in a Grand Slam final, after the Serb lost to Andy Murray at the US Open in 2012.
