Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is set to face Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon 2024 men’s singles final this Sunday. The match will take place at Centre Court of the All England Club.
The final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic is scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST), with live streaming and telecast available in India.
This will be Alcaraz’s second appearance in a Wimbledon final, while Djokovic, a seven-time champion at Centre Court, aims to equal Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon men’s singles titles.
In the semi-finals, Alcaraz overcame fourth-seeded Daniil Medvedev, bouncing back from a first-set loss to win 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Second-seeded Djokovic defeated Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets 6-4, 7-6, 6-4 to reach the final.
Last year’s Wimbledon final between Alcaraz and Djokovic was a marathon match lasting four hours and 42 minutes, the third-longest in Wimbledon history. Alcaraz secured his second Grand Slam title by winning the thrilling encounter, ending Djokovic’s pursuit of a fifth consecutive title.
Alcaraz, ranked third in the ATP tennis rankings, recently won the French Open men’s singles title by defeating Alexander Zverev. Djokovic, currently second in the world, won three Major titles last year and reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open earlier this year. He had to withdraw from the Roland Garros quarter-final due to a knee injury. Djokovic, with 24 Grand Slam titles, is tied with Margaret Court for the most historically and hopes to claim his 25th on Sunday.
