When is Wimbledon men’s final? Date, time, TV for Carlos Alcaraz vs. Novak Djokovic

Posted by Admin July 13, 2024 Tennis

Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are in the Wimbledon men’s final yet again.

Alcaraz, 21, and Djokovic, 37, will face off in the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday at the All England Club in London, marking a rematch of last year’s five-set championship thriller where Alcaraz emerged victorious.

Defending champion Alcaraz is looking to win his fourth Grand Slam title after winning the French Open last month, 2023 Wimbledon and 2022 U.S. Open titles. He can become the sixth man in the Open Era to complete the “Channel Slam” — winning the French Open and Wimbledon in the same calendar year — after Rod Laver (1969), Bjorn Borg (1978-1980), Rafa Nadal (2008), Roger Federer (2009) and Djokovic (2021).

Djokovic, on the other hand, has won a record 24 Grand Slam men’s single titles, including seven Wimbledon titles, most recently in 2022. It was unclear if Djokovic would even be able to compete at Wimbledon after he withdrew from the French Open quarterfinals last month and had surgery to repair on a torn meniscus in his right knee. Now, he’s one win away from moving pass Margaret Court (24) to become the all-time Grand Slam title leader, man or female.
