Carlos Alcaraz said he does not know his limit after overpowering Novak Djokovic on Sunday to win his second Wimbledon title but believes the Serb is still "Superman".

The Spanish third seed beat the seven-time champion 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7/4), collecting the fourth Grand Slam of his young career and underlining a changing of the guard.

Alcaraz, 21, who has won three of the past five majors, said he wanted to enjoy his "amazing journey 

so far" rather than look too far into the future.

"I really want to keep going, to keep improving, to keep growing up, try to keep winning. That's all that matters for me right now," he said.

"I don't know what is my limit. I don't want to think about it. I just want to keep enjoying my moment, just to keep dreaming.

"So let's see if at the end of my career it's going to be 25, 30, 15, four (Slams). I don't know. 

All I want to say is I want to keep enjoying and let's see what the future brings to me."

Despite his staggering success at such a tender age, Alcaraz said it was more important where he finished.

"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."
