At the final of Wimbledon 2023, the clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic generates immense excitement.
The Wimbledon final will be a test of Djokovic’s mastery and Alcaraz’s potential to cause an upset.
According to Evening Standard, Alcaraz was badly hampered by cramp when the pair met in the French Open semi-finals last month, as Djokovic went on to lift the trophy at Roland Garros and continue his bid for a calendar Grand Slam. Since then though Alcaraz is unbeaten in 11 matches on grass, including a run to the title at Queen’s, and the world number one appears to have quickly adapted to playing on the surface.
Djokovic’s undefeated record against Alcaraz may give him a psychological advantage, but Alcaraz’s rise in the tennis world and his exceptional performance in the tournament cannot be ignored.

While Djokovic boasts an impeccable record against Alcaraz, the young Spaniard possesses the skills and determination to potentially cause an upset in their upcoming match.
