Novak Djokovic will face Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday’s men’s singles gold-medal match. This Djokovic Alcaraz Olympic final mirrors their recent Wimbledon encounter. #DjokovicAlcarazOlympicFinal
Djokovic, holder of a men’s record 24 Grand Slam titles, beat Italian Lorenzo Musetti 6-4 6-2 on Friday to reach the Olympic final for the first time.
The 37-year-old Serb, who lost in straight sets to Alcaraz at the All England Club last month, has won every major singles title except the Olympics.
He was fourth in Tokyo three years ago and took bronze at Beijing in 2008 – his only previous Olympic medal.
Djokovic’s routine win sharply contrasted his previous match on the same court against Musetti at the French Open. That match went to five sets and ended at 03:07 local time.
He now faces Spanish second seed Alcaraz, who thrashed Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1 6-1 in Friday’s other semi-final. #DjokovicAlcarazOlympicFinal
The 21-year-old will contest his third major final two months, having won the French Open at the same venue in Paris in June, before his Wimbledon win.
The anticipation for the Djokovic Alcaraz Olympic final continues to build as the final approaches. Tennis enthusiasts worldwide look forward to this epic clash. With both players in top form, the final will undoubtedly be a high-stakes battle. Ultimately, the match will highlight the extraordinary talent and determination of these two elite athletes.
