Wimbledon has the finale that most expected and wanted as Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic meet in what should be a thrilling men’s singles final later today.
There was plenty of enthusiasm a month ago when the best two players in the world faced off at the French Open, but that semi-final clash failed to live up to expectations as Alcaraz cramped up and managed just two games across the final two sets.
The Spaniard, top seed at Wimbledon, will hope nerves do not hamper him this time, as he goes in search of a first Wimbledon title, in just his fourth grass-court tournament.
He faces the ultimate test though, with Djokovic unbeaten on Centre Court since losing to Andy Murray in the 2013 final. The seven-time champion swept aside Jannik Sinner in the last four and knows victory will see his bid for the calendar Grand Slam continue to a final leg at the US Open later this summer.
