LONDON, ENGLAND – In a thrilling turn of events at the All England Club, World No. 2 Novak Djokovic has set the stage for an electrifying Wimbledon final rematch against No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz. Djokovic secured his place in the final by overcoming 25th-seeded Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-4, on Friday.

Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, showcased his dominance and resilience in a match that saw him thwart Musetti’s attempts to derail his journey. Despite a scare in the second set where Musetti took a 3-1 lead, Djokovic’s superior serving and unyielding defense enabled him to claw back and win the set in a tiebreak. The Serbian legend’s performance was marked by six aces and an impressive first-serve win rate of 75%, compared to Musetti’s 61%.

Carlos Alcaraz, a three-time Grand Slam champion, had a more challenging route to the final.
