Novak Djokovic is in the Wimbledon final for the tenth time. The tennis star can win his eighth title and thereby achieve something special.
Tennis star Novak Djokovic sees it as an additional incentive to be able to draw level with his retired long-time Swiss rival and record holder Roger Federer with a win in the Wimbledon final. “Of course I am aware that Roger has eight Wimbledon victories,” said the seven-time Wimbledon champion from Serbia: “It’s about history. Also, it’s the 25th potential Grand Slam. Of course that’s a big motivation, but at the same time it’s also a lot of pressure and expectations.”
At the end of the two-week Grand Slam tournament in London, Djokovic (37) will fight for the title in the men’s final against Carlos Alcaraz (21) in the afternoon (3 p.m./Prime). It is a repeat of a thrilling duel from 2023, which the young Spaniard won last year.
“People expect me to win 99 percent of the games”
“Every time I step on the court now, even if I’m 37 and playing against a 21-year-old, I still expect to win most of the matches,” Djokovic said, “and people expect me to win 99 percent of the matches I play.”
With his 25th Grand Slam title, he could also overtake the women’s record holder, Australian Margaret Court. Just five weeks after his knee operation, Djokovic is in the final. After a weaker season, it is the world number two’s first final this year.
