Route to eighth Wimbledon title for Djokovic: Potential final against Alcaraz in top two showdown
ATPFriday, 30 June 2023 at 16:30
World number two Novak Djokovic can face number one seed Carlos
Alcaraz in the final of Wimbledon 2023, that is according to the draw that took
place on Friday.
The 36-year-old will be defending his title, which he won
after beating Australia’s Nick Kyrgios in the final with a score of 4–6, 6–3,
6–4, 7–6 last year, in the third Grand Slam of 2023.
Djokovic will face Argentina’s Pedro Cachin in the first round
of the mega-event which will be played from 03-16 July in London.
His first real test is expected to arrive in the
quarterfinal stage where he is likely to face one out of world number seven Russia’s
Andrey Rublev, world number 12 Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime, Kazakhstan’s top-seeded
player Alexander Bublik and last year’s finalist Kyrgios.
Djokovic might get a rematch of the French Open 2023 final
against world number Casper Ruud in the semis whereas a dream clash against the
current world number one Alcaraz can only take place in the grand finale.

The Belgrade born is on a 28-match winning streak in
Wimbledon as his last defeat came way back in 2017 when he lost to Tomas
Berdych in the quarterfinals stage after being forced to retire with an injury
to his arm.
Since then, Djokovic has won four consecutive Wimbledon
titles which took his overall title tally on the grass court to seven. He is now
sitting on the second spot in terms of most Wimbledon men’s singles titles won,
just behind Switzerland’s Roger Federer and joint second-highest with America’s
great Pete Sampras.
