LONDON — Novak Djokovic swept past Lorenzo Musetti on Friday to book a second successive Wimbledon final against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and move one win away from a record-setting 25th Grand Slam title.
Just five weeks after undergoing knee surgery, seven-time Wimbledon champion Djokovic reached his 10th final at the All England Club with a 6-4, 7-6 , 6-4 win over the Italian 25th seed. Alcaraz defeated Daniil Medvedev 6-7 , 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 to reach a fourth Grand Slam final. Djokovic , 37, can equal Roger Federer's record of eight Wimbledon titles and become the tournament's oldest champion of the modern era if he avenges last year's final loss to Alcaraz .
'He showed that he's in great shape, not only in tennis but physically.' He added: 'We have played seven times but I have never seen Novak play like this today.' Alcaraz defeated Djokovic in the 2023 Wimbledon final in a five-set thriller.Victory on Sunday would make him only the sixth man to win the French Open and Wimbledon titles back to back.'Obviously it will be a really difficult match,' said Alcaraz.'But I feel like I am not new anymore.
