Carlos Alcaraz, currently ranked as the world number one, expressed that going up against Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final would be an even greater achievement than simply reaching the final itself.

After a thrilling victory over Nicolas Jerry, who is ranked 28th in the world, Alcaraz advanced to the Round of 16 at the tournament. If both players succeed in their upcoming matches, Alcaraz and Djokovic will meet in the highly anticipated final.

“I have to be really, really focus until the final. It’s a lot of matches ahead. I can’t relax. I have to play my best in every match. Let’s see if I reach the final or not (smiling).”

In their most recent encounter during the French Open 2023 semifinals, the Spanish player suffered a 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Serbian player.

Although it’s Alcaraz’s third time participating in Wimbledon, having reached the second and fourth rounds in 2021 and 2022 respectively, Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, has been undefeated in the tournament since 2017. After recently clinching his record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title in Paris, the Serbian player is determined to add another victory at Wimbledon and reach a tally of 24 Grand Slam titles.
