Carlos Alcaraz will attempt to end Novak Djokovic’s reign in the Wimbledon men’s final today in a battle of youth against experience for the SW19 crown. The final features the widest age gap between two men’s grand slam finalists in 48 years, and the young Spaniard is faced with the toughest challenge in tennis; Djokovic has won 34 consecutive matches at Wimbledon, he has not lost at the tournament since 2017, and not on Centre Court since 2013.
Having won the US Open final last year to claim his first major title at the age of just 19, Alcaraz now stands on the precipice of a victory that would truly announce the Spaniard as the next great player in the sport.
