After two weeks of pulsating action in south London, the final weekend of this year’s Wimbledon is upon us.
From the hectic weather disruptions to Novak Djokovic’s on-court antics, it’s been another gripping fortnight of action.
But it’s all about the winners this weekend, with Barbora Krejcikova and Jasmine Paolini set to go head-to-head in the women’s final later today.
It comes ahead of tomorrow’s men’s final, which has turned out to be a repeat of last year’s meeting between Carlos Alcaraz and seven-time Wimbledon winner Djokovic.
The pair have endured contrasting routes to the final, but following last year’s defeat on Centre Court, Djokovic has his eyes set on revenge.
Novak Djokovic dubbed a ‘joke’ ahead of Carlos Alcaraz showdown
It’s been an eventful Championship for Novak Djokovic, but not always for the right reasons.
From jeering the crowd, to storming out of interviews, Djokovic hasn’t been afraid to torment when put in front of a microphone the last two weeks.
But opponent Lorenzo Musetti was more focused on the 24-time Grand Slam winner’s on-court ability when quizzed after the pair’s semi-final.
He said: “Today I was really impressed. Probably was our first meeting on grass, so I never face him on grass. I have to say that. I think his tennis really fit very well on this surface.
“Especially how he returns, it’s something like kind of a joke. I have to say today was really a joke at the end how he was returning.
