Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will face Novak Djokovic in a rematch of last year’s Wimbledon final today.

The Spaniard earned his spot in a fourth major final and a second in a row after his first title at the French Open last month after a four-set win over Daniil Medvedev.

In the second semi-final, Lorenzo Musetti fought hard but Djokovic proved too strong as he claimed victory in straight sets.

That defeat in 2023 was Djokovic’s only loss in his last 50 matches on Centre Court.
