Carlos Alcaraz vs Novak Djokovic Live Updates, Wimbledon 2024 Final: Nole Eyes Revenge – News18

Carlos Alcaraz vs Novak Djokovic, Wimbledon Final LIVE: Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and second seed Novak Djokovic face off in the Wimbledon men’s singles final at the All England Club.

Three-times Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz landed in Wimbledon as the title favourite following his French Open triumph last month but few expected Novak Djokovic to go far after his Roland Garros run was cut short by a knee injury. However, the 37-year-old, who underwent surgery only five weeks ago, has defied the odds in his bid for a 25th Grand Slam, taking sole ownership of the all-time record he currently shares with Margaret Court. Djokovic’s steady return to top form in an otherwise shaky season has left fans at the All England Club and the world over salivating at the prospect of another thriller like the one the duo dished out 12 months ago, when Alcaraz won in five sets.

Last year’s defeat by Alcaraz ended Djokovic’s quest for a fifth straight title that would have left him level with Roger Federer on eight Wimbledon trophies and the Serb will head to the clash on Sunday seeking revenge.

However, he will have his task cut out against an opponent who has never lost a Grand Slam final and is the youngest player in the professional era to win a major on all three surfaces. Alcaraz has not been at his convincing best at Wimbledon this year but can still finish the tournament in elite company as a successful defence will make him only the second player in the professional era after Federer to win his first four major finals. He can also become only the sixth man since 1968 to claim the Roland Garros and Wimbledon titles in the same year after Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, Rafa Nadal, Federer and Djokovic.
