New Delhi: World No.2 Novak Djokovic has set his eyes on a record 25th Grand Slam title as he participates in his 10th Wimbledon final on Sunday at the Centre Court. By achieving the feat, the Serbian tennis star will become the player with most Grand Slam titles in an Open era, surpassing Margaret Court’s tally of 24 Grand Slams.
The only force that stands between Djokovic’s historic feat is Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning Wimbledon champion. It will be a repeat of last year’s Wimbledon final after the Spaniard clinched a five-setter humdinger, which is an exception given that Djokovic’s penchant to take the match as deeper to fifth set and frazzle his opponent out there.
It shouldn’t be missed that Djokovic entered the championship five weeks after undergoing a right knee surgery and the pressure of not winning a Grand Slam this year would only add to the cloud. He lost to 22-year-old Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open semi-final before being forced to withdraw from the French Open because of a torn medial meniscus.
The fact that Djokovic didn’t made it to any final before the Wimbledon 2024 someway indicates his charisma is waning. Could this be his twilight of his career will only depend on how the 24-time Grand Slam winner approaches the upcoming final against Alcaraz, one that could redeem his supremacy on the grass court.
For the young Spaniard, who is dubbed to emulate his compatriot Rafael Nadal’s legacy, a fourth major Grand Slam title is on the cards. His win against Djokovic in the 2023 Wimbledon final ended the Serb’s 34-match winning streak at the tournament.
The World No.3 has looked scrappy in this edition, though he managed to hold the nervy moments and recuperate well to close the early deficits. He has dropped three first sets in this edition, including the one in the semi-final encounter against Daniil Medvedev. If Alcaraz manages to drub Djokovic tonight than he’ll become the sixth man to win the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back.
