Yet again the pair Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz will face off in the Wimbledon men’s single finals today Sunday July 14.
Djokovic is offering to come out on top for a 25th Grand Slam championship and chase the unsurpassed record for the most Grand Slam titles, in front of Margaret Court.
A win for the Serb would also draw him level with Roger Federer’s unequaled record of eight Wimbledon’s men’s singles titles.
He would become the first player in history to come out on top for at least eight singles championships at two distinct Grand Slam events. He has 10 Australian Open men’s singles titles to date.
Alcaraz will focus on a fourth Grand title from four finals.
He is also hoping to be the eighth player in history to win his first four Grand Slam men’s singles finals – and the second in the Open Time after Federer, who won his first seven challenged finals in Quite a while.
Djokovic’s journey to win the subtle 25th Grand Slam title has not been a simple one this year – his wait for a title in 2024 continues, hampered most recently by a torn medial meniscus in the French Open quarter-final.
Victory for Alcaraz would make him only the second man in the Open era, alongside Federer, to win his first four Grand Slam finals. Alcaraz might well have some way to go to reach the dizzy Grand Slam heights of his compatriot Rafael Nadal or Djokovic, but he has started on a good note.
Alcaraz would need to seek for another level to become the 10th man in the Open Period to hold the Wimbledon title, and the 6th man in the Open Time to win both Roland Garros and Wimbledon around the same time.
“Obviously everybody knows Djokovic. He has played multiple Grand Slam finals, has won a lot of them. Last year it was a really difficult match. He put me in real trouble, I’m going to say,” Alcaraz said on Friday.
“I know how it’s going to feel playing against Djokovic. I know what I have to do. I’m sure he knows what he has to do to beat me. It’s going to be a really interesting one.”
