Wimbledon 2023: Carlos Alcaraz eyeing final clash with Novak Djokovic - 'It's something I really want'

Carlos Alcaraz is desperate for a rematch with Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon. Alcaraz is expected to be Djokovic’s main rival at SW19 after winning the Queen’s title but, as the top seed, he can only face the 23-time Grand Slam champion in the final. Ad The 20-year-old came face to face with Djokovic for the first time at a Grand Slam last month when he suffered defeat in the semi-finals of the French Open.

Although he attempted to continue, he was no match for Djokovic, who secured a 6-3 5-7 6-1 6-1 victory. Alcaraz – who faces retiring Frenchman Jeremy Chardy in the first round on Tuesday – is now eyeing another meeting with Djokovic at the All England Club.

«I would say the pressure that they put to everyone,» said Alcaraz when asked to name the hardest thing about facing Djokovic. «Not only to me, to everyone to play at their best for three hours in a Grand Slam. “I have to deal with that, but it's something that I really want it.

I hope to play a final here against him.» What impresses Alcaraz most about Djokovic on grass is how he makes things look “really easy”, he added. “He moves really well. He hits the ball really well, really clearly.

He has a clean shot. It's a mix of everything. “I would say he doesn't do anything wrong.

He always makes really easy everything. It's really tough to find some weakness on his game.'' Djokovic has won four successive Wimbledon titles, last losing a match at the tournament in 2017. The Serbian can equal Roger Federer’s record of eight titles if he is once again
