Novak Djokovic says the "world of sport" will be watching on Sunday when he faces Carlos Alcaraz in a Wimbledon final where history and potentially a generational shift are on the line.
Djokovic is attempting to equal Roger Federer's record of eight titles at the All England Club and match Margaret Court's all-time mark of 24 Grand Slam crowns.
The 36-year-old Serb has already won this year's first two majors – the Australian and French Opens – and victory on Centre Court over the world No 1 will tee him up for a crack at a calendar Grand Slam at the US Open later this year. "It's the ultimate showdown," said Djokovic, who will be playing in a record 35th Grand Slam final. "Everything comes down to one match.
All eyes of the tennis and sports world will be directed on this Sunday's Wimbledon final. It's probably the most watched tennis match globally." When Djokovic won his first major at the 2008 Australian Open, Spaniard Alcaraz was still three months shy of his fifth birthday.
