Novak Djokovic aims for his 25th major title in a Wimbledon rematch with Carlos Alcaraz.


 With one more victory, Novak Djokovic can update the "24" on his sneakers to "25". To achieve this milestone and surpass Margaret Court's record with his 25th major title and a record-tying eighth Wimbledon crown, Djokovic must seek revenge against Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday's Wimbledon final.


One year ago, Alcaraz defeated Djokovic in a memorable five-set final, denying Djokovic a calendar Grand Slam opportunity. Now, these rivals will face off again for the championship. Alcaraz, 21 years old, holds a 3-2 advantage over the 37-year-old Djokovic.


Djokovic, ranked No. 2, secured his spot in the final with a clinical 6-4, 7-6(2), 6-4 victory over No. 25 Lorenzo Musetti, who was making his Grand Slam semifinal debut. Despite undergoing meniscus surgery just over a month ago, which led to his withdrawal from the Roland Garros quarterfinals, Djokovic is playing in his 37th Grand Slam final and his 10th Wimbledon final (Roger Federer leads with 12).


Meanwhile, three-time major champion Alcaraz defeated No. 5 Daniil Medvedev in four sets in the semifinals, extending his Wimbledon winning streak to 13 matches and his overall major winning streak to 13 consecutive matches.


Reflecting on his journey, Djokovic expressed satisfaction with reaching another final but emphasized his desire to go further: "I'm obviously very, very satisfied, very pleased and happy to be in another final, but I don't want to stop here. Hopefully, I'll get my hands on that trophy on Sunday."


When asked about any doubts stemming from his recent knee surgery, Djokovic acknowledged the uncertainties: "There were plenty of doubts. Coming into London 8 days before the tournament started. I didn't know if I'd be part of the tournament or not. I was keeping everything open until the day of the draw." He credited his team and the confidence gained from practice matches for his current form and expressed gratitude for their support...See More
