It is time for the “ultimate showdown”, as Novak Djokovic put it after setting up the most anticipated clash of the men’s singles draw for the Wimbledon 2023 final on Centre Court. The four-time defending champion and seven-time winner Djokovic, is already halfway through to a Calendra Slam, was never a doubt for the final. The talk however was around how much pressure Carlos Alcaraz could sustain in the surface he recently befriended. But the world No.1, with an improved show after the Queen’s title earlier this month, marched to his maiden Wimbledon final to the hope for ending Djokovic’s reign.
Ahead of the mouth-watering Djokovic vs Alcaraz final on Centre Court, we take a look at the head-to-head record, key stats and records in line for the match…
This will be their third meeting on ATP tour with both winning a match each so far. Alcaraz had won their first meeting, in 2022 Madrid Open semis, just 24 hours after he stunned Rafael Nadal. However, the Spaniard suffered from cramps in their first ever Grand Slam meeting, at French Open last month, before going down in four sets.
– Alcaraz beat Djokovic 6-7, 7-6, 7-6 in 2022 Madrid Open semifinal
– Djokovic beat Alcaraz 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 in 2023 French Open quarterfinal
Alcaraz had claimed back the No.1 ranking after his first-ever grass court title, at the Queen’s, which helped him become the top seed at Wimbledon. But with Djokovic heading to the ultimate round of the 2023 Championships, the winner of the Wimbledon trophy will also walk home with the ATP ranking crown.
