Novak Djokovic vs Carlos Alcaraz - a dream final

The Serbian great is in a record 35th Grand Slam final in men's and women's tennis history and will be chasing an unprecedented 24th title, which would move him two clear of his famous chaser Rafael Nadal and level with the women's legend Margaret Court.

Djokovic can also equal Roger Federer with an eighth triumph on the "sacred grass" in London, having lost only once in his career for the trophy at the "All England Club" - to Andy Murray in 2013. This is also his last defeat in the tournament on the center court, otherwise Nole has not been defeated in a complete match at Wimbledon since 2016. His winning streak is increasingly impressive - now 34 games in a row.

It's no secret that Joker is once again dreaming of a calendar grand slam, coming off success against Alcaraz and a possible follow-up triumph at the US Open. In 2021, he came agonizingly close to this feat, but lost the final in New York to Daniil Medvedev, and at the Tokyo Olympics he was eliminated in the semifinals by Alexander Zverev.

Djokovic eliminated Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals of Roland Garros just over a month ago, but now the situation is completely different. Carlitos already has more experience and confidence on the biggest stage, even though he made his debut in the Wimbledon final. He is, after all, the champion from Queen's and with his raid at the All England Club he has already won 11 consecutive victories on grass, although a final against Djokovic presents a completely different challenge.

It is nerves and tension that would be a disadvantage for Alcaraz, but Nole will also feel them, because he is in a unique position to win the tournament for the fifth time in a row and continue the idea of a calendar slam. Also, unlike Roland Garros last month, this time he has the status of a strong favorite and everything else will count as a surprise.

Djokovic fans can also be optimistic due to the fact that the Serbian has only been broken three times so far in the tournament, and has saved 16 of 19 break points. Alcaraz, on the other hand, has not been flawless in a situation to materialize a break point, especially in the first sets of his matches so far. It will also be interesting to watch how Nole's forehand backhand would hamper the 20-year-old Spaniard's otherwise famous forehand.
