Novak Djokovic goes past Lorenzo Musetti to set up Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz

Novak Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, showcased his exceptional skills on the court, defeating Italy's Lorenzo Musetti, the 25th seed, in straight sets. The Serbian maestro secured a 6-4, 7-6(2), 6-4 victory, earning him a spot in his 10th Wimbledon final.

In the championship match, Djokovic will face the defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz, setting the stage for an exciting rematch of their 2023 encounter. This marks the first time since 2014-15, when Djokovic and his longtime rival Roger Federer competed in consecutive finals, that the same two players will battle in the title match in back-to-back years.



"I've said it many times, Wimbledon has been a childhood dream for me to play and to win... I was a seven-year-old boy watching bombs fly over my head and dreaming of being on the most important court in the world," Djokovic told the Centre Court crowd, as reported by Reuters.

"I was constructing Wimbledon trophies out of any material in the room. It has been an incredible journey. I try not to take it for granted every time I find myself on this unique court.

"Obviously, during the match, it's business time and... I try outplay my opponent. I'm satisfied and pleased, but I don't want to stop here. Hopefully I get my hands on the trophy."

Djokovic, the second seed, secured a break in the sixth game of the first set, following an intense 27-shot rally.
