</excerpt><content>&lt;p data-start=&quot;323&quot; data-end=&quot;624&quot;&gt;Wimbledon witnessed drama late Monday night when officials suspended the first-round match between fourth seed Taylor Fritz and France’s Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard after four intense sets. Organisers stopped play on Court 1 as they believed the match would not finish before the strict 11 p.m. curfew.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;626&quot; data-end=&quot;666&quot;&gt;Fritz Fights Back, But Match Stopped&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;668&quot; data-end=&quot;1129&quot;&gt;Fritz looked frustrated and visibly upset when officials entered the court close to the deadline. He had just completed a stunning comeback in the fourth set. Earlier, he lost the first two sets to the big-serving Perricard. However, Fritz rallied back strongly. In the fourth set tie-break, he trailed 1-5 but won seven of the next eight points to level the match at two sets each. Just as the deciding fifth set was about to begin, officials halted the match.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1131&quot; data-end=&quot;1345&quot;&gt;The chair umpire informed the crowd, &amp;#8220;Ladies and gentlemen, due to the late time of the day, we will not be able to finish the match. Therefore, the match will be suspended until tomorrow. Play is suspended.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1347&quot; data-end=&quot;1459&quot;&gt;The crowd on Court 1 expressed their disappointment. Loud boos echoed around the stadium after the announcement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1461&quot; data-end=&quot;1494&quot;&gt;Organisers Defend Curfew Rule&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1496&quot; data-end=&quot;1728&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/sports/carlos-alcaraz-escapes-fognini-scare-to-begin-wimbledon-title-defence-with-grit/&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; has an agreement with Merton Council to stop all play by 11 p.m. each night. However, fans and Fritz felt the suspension came too early. When the match was stopped, there were still about 40 minutes left before the curfew.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1730&quot; data-end=&quot;1930&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, over at Centre Court, officials also stopped the final match of the night. Third seed Alexander Zverev was tied at one set each against Arthur Rinderknech when play was paused at 10:54 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1932&quot; data-end=&quot;1960&quot;&gt;Perricard Had Early Lead&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1962&quot; data-end=&quot;2271&quot;&gt;Perricard dominated the early part of the match. He hit 33 aces and won both opening sets in tight tie-breaks: 7-6 (6), 7-6 (8). However, he failed to earn a single break point throughout the match. Fritz regained control by winning the third set 6-4 and then taking the fourth set 7-6 (6), forcing a decider.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2273&quot; data-end=&quot;2434&quot;&gt;Fritz, who recently won titles in Stuttgart and Eastbourne, is seen as a strong contender for the Wimbledon semifinals. He came into the match in excellent form.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;2436&quot; data-end=&quot;2474&quot;&gt;Experts Weigh In on the Suspension&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2476&quot; data-end=&quot;2790&quot;&gt;Commentator Todd Woodbridge said, &amp;#8220;Well, if I was Taylor Fritz, I&amp;#8217;d want to keep going here, try to keep the momentum. It&amp;#8217;s just gone 10.15pm, the curfew is at 11. If it&amp;#8217;s a long set there&amp;#8217;s a chance they might have to come off at 5-5 potentially. Would you want to do that? That&amp;#8217;s what they&amp;#8217;re weighing up.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2792&quot; data-end=&quot;3176&quot;&gt;Co-commentator Ronald McIntosh noted that the break might favour Perricard. He said, &amp;#8220;But a big decision about to be made here because as we pointed out in commentary, the momentum very much in favour of Taylor Fritz. I&amp;#8217;m sure Mpetshi Perricard would love the opportunity to regroup, refuel, rehydrate, rest and to come back tomorrow for what is effectively a one-set shootout.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;Carlos Alcaraz weathered a big fright in his Wimbledon first round against Italian veteran Fabio Fognini on Monday before prevailing in five sets to start his quest for a third consecutive title at the All England Club.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alcaraz fought to a 7-5, 6-7 (5/7), 7-5, 2-6, 6-1 victory over the 38-year-old Italian in a four-hour, 37-minute first-round duel under hot conditions on Centre Court. It was the first time since Roger Federer edged past Alejandro Falla in 2010 that a defending champion had been pushed to a fifth set in Wimbledon&amp;#8217;s first round.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Defending Champion Carlos Alcaraz Pushes Through Struggles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alcaraz brushed aside a patchy performance featuring 62 unforced errors as he dug deep not to fold on the record-breaking hottest opening day at Wimbledon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;First of all, I don&amp;#8217;t know why it is probably Fabio&amp;#8217;s last Wimbledon because the level he has shown shows he can still play for three or four more years,&amp;#8221; Alcaraz said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Playing on Centre Court for the first match of any tournament is never easy. I&amp;#8217;ve been practising pretty well and playing on grass really well, but Wimbledon is special and different.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I could feel the difference between Wimbledon and the other tournaments. I just tried to play my best but I would say that I could play better.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Decider Dominance Secures Victory for &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carlos Alcaraz&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 22-year-old came from behind to take a vital break in the second game of the decider, shouting &amp;#8220;vamos&amp;#8221; after holding off two break points in the following game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fognini had presented Alcaraz with much tougher test than anticipated, but world number 138 failed to maintain the tempo as the tireless Spaniard again proved master of the final set. Alcaraz has never lost in a Grand Slam first round in 18 tries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eyes on Wimbledon History&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having previously defeated Novak &lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/sports/novak-djokovic-shockingly-retires-from-australian-open-semifinal-after-first-set-gives-thumbs-up-to-booing-crowd-watch/&quot;&gt;Djokovic&lt;/a&gt; in the last two Wimbledon finals, Alcaraz wants to join an exclusive list of Wimbledon legends.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He firmly established his clay-court credentials by fighting back from two sets down to beat Jannik Sinner in an epic French Open final earlier this month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alcaraz is equally dynamic on grass, winning 30 of his 33 Tour-level matches on the surface, with his last defeat at Wimbledon coming against Sinner in the fourth round in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He is bidding to join the exclusive club of five men to win at least three consecutive Wimbledon titles since Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Djokovic, a seven-time champion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If he accomplishes that goal, Alcaraz would be the second-youngest player in the Open Era to win six Grand Slam men&amp;#8217;s titles since Borg, who achieved that milestone in 1978.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Next Challenge: Oliver Tarvet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He will play British qualifier Oliver Tarvet in the second round.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He is playing great tennis on grass and if he is in the second round of Wimbledon then he is playing at a great level,&amp;#8221; Alcaraz said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I will try to improve the things that didn&amp;#8217;t work today, such as the return and the forehand. Let&amp;#8217;s keep enjoying being at Wimbledon as well.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;France&amp;#8217;s Benjamin Bonzi defeated former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev in a first-round upset at Wimbledon on Monday. Medvedev reached the Wimbledon semi-finals in the last two years, but world number 64 Bonzi ended the Russian&amp;#8217;s quest for another deep run at the All England Club.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bonzi defeated ninth-seeded Medvedev 7-6 (7/2), 3-6, 7-6 (7/3), 6-2 in three hours and seven minutes in hot conditions on Court Two. This was the first time in seven visits to Wimbledon that Medvedev failed to get beyond the first round. Medvedev, a six-time Grand Slam finalist, has had a disastrous year at the majors, losing second round at the Australian Open and first round at the French Open before his Wimbledon disaster.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major Setback in a Disappointing Season for Daniil Medvedev&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 29-year-old, a winner of the US Open in 2021, beat top-seeded Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon quarter-finals last year and then fell short against defending champion Carlos &lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/sports/carlos-alcaraz-beats-jannik-sinner-in-historic-final-to-defend-french-open-title/&quot;&gt;Alcaraz&lt;/a&gt; in the semis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This season, however, has painted a very different picture for the Russian. With early exits at all three Grand Slam tournaments so far, Medvedev&amp;#8217;s form and rhythm on the biggest stages have come under serious scrutiny. His lack of consistency has raised questions about whether his 2021 peak can be replicated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The loss also comes as a blow to his chances of improving his ranking or gaining momentum ahead of the US hard-court season. For a player of Medvedev’s calibre, such results are far from expectations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonzi Celebrates Career-Defining Moment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is my first top-10 win at a Slam. Obviously, it is always special at this tournament,&amp;#8221; Bonzi said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I love this place, so it&amp;#8217;s very special and Daniil is a great player. He has reached two semi-finals here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I knew it was a tough match, but sometimes it is better to play this kind of player in the first round. Anything can happen, so I&amp;#8217;m very happy with the win.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;The All England Club have confirmed that Sir Andy Murray will be remembered with a statue at Wimbledon at the 2027 tournament, which will celebrate 150 years of the tournament&amp;#8217;s starting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Andy Murray’s Historic Achievements Remembered&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Andy Murray became the first British player to win a Grand Slam singles title since Virginia Wade in 1977. He achieved this milestone by defeating Novak Djokovic in a hard-fought five-set final at the 2012 US Open.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following year, he ended Britain&amp;#8217;s 77-year wait for a home champion at Wimbledon. He became the first British man to lift the Wimbledon trophy since Fred Perry in 1936.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2016, Murray won his second Wimbledon title. That same year, he also became the first British player to reach World No. 1 in the ATP Rankings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All England Club Working Closely with Andy Murray on Statue Plans&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are looking to have a statue of Andy Murray here [at Wimbledon] and we&amp;#8217;re working closely with him and his team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The ambition is that we would unveil that at the 150th anniversary of our first championship, which was 1877. He&amp;#8217;s got to rightly be very involved in that, and he and his team will be,&amp;#8221; said Debbie Jevans, chair of the All England Club, to the Ainslie Ainslie Performance People podcast.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Plans to Honour Andy Murray Began Years Ago&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to a source, former &lt;a href=&quot;https://latest.thedailyguardian.com/tag/wimbledon/&quot;&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/a&gt; chief executive Richard Lewis had previously confirmed the club’s intention to honour Murray with a statue. This plan was discussed well before his retirement, once it was clear he would eventually step away from the sport.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Murray, a two-time Olympic gold medallist in men’s singles, officially retired after the 2024 Paris Olympics. He concluded his decorated playing career following the Games.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wimbledon’s Legacy of Commemoration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A bronze sculpture of Fred Perry was installed at Wimbledon in 1984 to mark 50 years after his initial singles title.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Now he&amp;#8217;s retired, we&amp;#8217;re very much looking at how we can embrace him, for him to be a part of the club in the long term. We looked at Rafa Nadal having that sort of plaque unveiled to him at Roland Garros, which was all very special. We thought, &amp;#8216;What do we want for Andy? &amp;#8216;,” Jevans added.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Kohli Announces Test Exit After 14 Years&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a shock decision, Kohli announced on Monday morning his retirement from Test cricket. The experienced Indian batsman, who had been the pillar of India&amp;#8217;s Test side for more than a decade, made the revelation in an Instagram post looking back at his career.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;14 years ago, I debuted in Test cricket with the loose blue. Truly, I never imagined the journey that this version of the game would take me on. It&amp;#8217;s tested me, shaped me, and taught me lessons that I will carry for my life,&amp;#8221; Kohli stated in his post.&lt;/p&gt;

Posting his reflections in a moving tweet, he wrote, &amp;#8220;There&amp;#8217;s something intensely personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever. As I move away from this format, it&amp;#8217;s not easy — but it feels right.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;A Career that Transcended Cricket&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kohli&amp;#8217;s announcement elicited responses from fans and sporting legends across sports, with Wimbledon&amp;#8217;s tribute reflecting his international fame. Renowned for his determination, passion, and leadership in Test cricket, Kohli&amp;#8217;s retirement signals the end of an era in Indian cricket.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As tributes keep flowing in, the sporting fraternity is united in paying homage to one of contemporary cricket&amp;#8217;s greatest ambassadors.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;script async src=&quot;//www.instagram.com/embed.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the video, a young fan can be seen standing just behind Roger Federer. Interestingly, instead of wearing typical concert attire, the fan wore a white Wimbledon t-shirt. Whether this was a lucky coincidence or a deliberate choice is unclear. After getting his t-shirt signed, the fan pulled Federer for a hug before they both returned to enjoying the concert.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social Media Buzz&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The unexpected fan-signing moment quickly went viral. A tennis-centric Instagram page shared the clip, captioning it, “I’m jealous! I dream about it!” While many fans thought the fan was simply lucky, others criticized him for disturbing Federer during the concert. Critics pointed out that Federer’s wife, Mirka Federer, appeared annoyed by the fan&amp;#8217;s intrusion and at one point even asked Roger to focus back on the stage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mixed Reactions&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One Instagram user commented, “This guy went to the concert wearing a Wimbledon t-shirt! Iconic.” Another person remarked on Federer’s universal appeal, saying, “He is gonna be the legend wherever he goes.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Expressing envy towards the fan, another commenter wrote, “Omg. It has always been at the top of my bucket list to meet Roger!!” Another user praised the fan’s preparation, stating, “Always be prepared. The guy took his chance. The shirt would be worth a fortune.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Criticism and Support&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, not everyone was pleased. “Fan was so inopportune though, pestering him for an autograph when he’s with his wife and kids. Had others done the same, he would have been forced to flee, ruining the concert for him and his family,” read another comment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Talking about Mirka Federer’s intervention, another person observed, “She is loyal and right to protect him! Otherwise, he could spend half the night giving autographs. Don’t you guys get it?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the video continues to circulate, it highlights the balance celebrities like Federer must maintain between their personal lives and public adoration.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;India&amp;#8217;s T20 World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma made a special appearance at the All England Lawn Tennis &amp;amp; Croquet Club to watch the men&amp;#8217;s singles semi-finals of the ongoing Wimbledon. Rohit, who led India to their second T20 World Cup title last month, was seen near courtside, dressed in an olive suit paired with a tan brown tie and leather shoes. India secured the title by defeating South Africa by 7 runs in the final held in Barbados.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just over a week after celebrating the T20 World Cup victory with fans in Mumbai, Rohit was spotted watching the Wimbledon semi-finals. Pictures of him standing near Centre Court quickly went viral. IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) humorously commented on his appearance with a post on Instagram, captioning it, &amp;#8220;Skipper himself in the garden,&amp;#8221; referring to Rohit&amp;#8217;s earlier advice to Indian youngsters during a Test series against England to avoid roaming on the ground.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rohit attended the first semi-final match between Daniil Medvedev and Carlos Alcaraz at Centre Court on Friday. Following the T20 World Cup triumph, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the 20-over format. He concluded his T20I career as the format&amp;#8217;s highest run-scorer with 4231 runs in 159 games and the record holder for most centuries (five) in T20 internationals. Rohit has two T20 World Cup titles to his name: one as a player in 2007 and the recent one in 2024 as captain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the semi-final match, Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the Wimbledon 2024 men&amp;#8217;s singles final after defeating Daniil Medvedev with a score of 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Alcaraz will now face four-time Wimbledon winner Novak Djokovic, who won his semi-final match against Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;Carlos Alcaraz&amp;#8217;s first-round match at Wimbledon was a symphony of skill and power, captivating the Centre Court audience on Monday. Alcaraz&amp;#8217;s opponent, Mark Lajal, ranked 269th in the world, put up a formidable fight, but Alcaraz ultimately secured a 7-6 (3), 7-5, 6-2 victory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Match Highlights&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alcaraz, the reigning French Open champion, played without the arm sleeve he wore to protect an injured elbow, showing no signs of restraint in his powerful shots. His 25 forehand winners, including a particularly notable one, demonstrated his full recovery and ability to unleash his shots without limitation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Opponent: Mark Lajal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lajal, a 21-year-old Estonian, displayed remarkable tenacity and skill. Despite his lower ranking and limited experience on the main tour, he put Alcaraz&amp;#8217;s serve under pressure and even broke him early in the first set. His performance suggested that even lower-ranked players could present significant challenges at grand slam events.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alcaraz&amp;#8217;s Performance and Reflections&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alcaraz praised Lajal&amp;#8217;s performance and acknowledged feeling nervous as the defending champion on the storied court. He credited a round of golf at the Royal Wimbledon Golf Club the night before for helping him stay calm and mentally prepared.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alcaraz&amp;#8217;s third set was a display of his diverse skills, combining powerful shots with delicate drop volleys. His victory confirmed that he is in top form and ready for the challenges ahead in the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lajal&amp;#8217;s Future&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lajal&amp;#8217;s impressive performance, including a 132mph ace and a backhand smash, earned him applause and respect from the crowd. Although he ultimately lost, his potential and talent were evident, suggesting he has a bright future in tennis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In Short&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alcaraz&amp;#8217;s win on Centre Court was not just a triumph in the match but also a statement of his readiness and resilience. With his elbow healed and his game sharp, he is poised for further success at Wimbledon and beyond. Meanwhile, Lajal&amp;#8217;s spirited performance hinted at a promising career ahead, as he gains more experience and climbs the rankings.&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;The most accomplished men&amp;#8217;s tennis player of the Open Era, Novak Djokovic, lost to World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the 2023 Wimbledon final on Sunday, failing to win his 24th Grand Slam title.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Djokovic lost control many times in the dramatic match that went to the fifth set. The Serbian smashed his racquet on the net post after breaking Alcaraz&amp;#8217;s serve and losing his own service game. The Serbian star was punished severely for his behaviour after being accused of ‘racquet abuse.’&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Djokovic received a warning from umpire Fergus Murphy after shattering his racket into the net post and smashing it. The Serb was later handed a big fine of USD 8,000 for his avoidable actions. According to reports, this fine sets a &amp;#8220;record&amp;#8221; for 2023.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Djokovic was quite kind, accepted defeat gracefully, and praised Alcaraz’s stunning performance. Later, he compared him to Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and himself (Novak).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I believe that throughout the past year or so, people have discussed how his game incorporates characteristics from Roger, Rafa, and myself. I&amp;#8217;d concur with that. I believe he essentially has the best of all three worlds,&amp;#8221; Djokovic said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When Djokovic won his first major at the Australian Open in 2008, Alcaraz was still three months shy of his fifth birthday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

</excerpt><content>&lt;p&gt;The grand finale of Wimbledon 2023 will be held at Centre Court on Sunday between two in form players. World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz is set to take on World No. 2 Novak Djokovic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whoever wins the final, it is clear that history and records will be created. If Novak Djokovic lifts the title, he will equal the record of Roger Federer&amp;#8217;s eight titles in London, and this would be his 24 Majors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently, the Serbian star has 23 big titles in his kitty, including seven Wimbledon, 10 Australian Open, 3 French Open, and 3 US Open titles. Djokovic has been bossing the Centre Court at Wimbledon since 2015. It will be a tough ask for the Spanish tennis sensation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 20-year-old has been playing superb tennis in recent years; before the start of Wimbledon, Alcaraz emerged victorious in the Queen’s Club Championship, which was his first title on grass.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alcaraz has already bagged 11 ATP Tour-level titles. He has already lifted the 2022 US Open and four Masters 1000 titles. Beating Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final would not be easy for the Spaniard. He needs to punch above his weight to surpass Grand Slam specialist Novak Djokovic.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the 2023 French Open semi final Novak Djokovic easily defeated Carlos Alcaraz, moved into the final, and defeated Casper Ruud in the final.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An entertaining match is on the cards. Both players are gearing up to produce tremendous tennis in the final. Novak Djokovic is a favourite, but uncertainty always looms in sports. The crowd will get a chance to watch some fine tennis in the final.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
