If Carlos Alcaraz has any wild aspirations of breaking Novak Djokovic’s record for all-time major titles, a victory Sunday on Wimbledon’s Centre Court would be helpful. Djokovic steps on the famed grass with 24 Grand Slam singles championships, more than any other man in the sport’s history —but at the advanced tennis age of 37, no title opportunity is a given.
Sunday’s title tilt will be a rematch of last year’s epic Wimbledon final when Alcaraz rallied to a 1-6, 7-6 , 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 victory, snapping Djokovic’s 34-match winning streak at the All England Club. At that moment, it was the wunderkind’s second Grand Slam trophy, and he’s since gone on to add this year’s French Open title to his mantel. Djokovic withdrew from the famed clay court competition with a knee injury.
