This is what Djokovic likes the most and Alcaraz controls the least at Wimbledon

The Spanish Carlos Alcaraz21 years old and three Grand Slam titles under his belt, and the Serbian Novak Djokovic37 and with 24 crowns in their history, will play in their second straight Wimbledon final this Sunday, at 3pm, less than an hour away in London.

In 2023 Alcaraz returned in a painful and spectacular five-set final in 4h.42′. He dethroned the seven-time champion, who had remained undefeated since 2017.

The situations are reversed. The Murcian is defending his hegemony, a month after becoming champion at Roland Garros and after Balkan underwent surgery for a meniscal tear he suffered during their round of 16 match in Paris.

Although Alcaraz and his team is preparing for the last thought that they will find the best version of Djokovic. “We have to plan a match with at least a battle like last year’s. I told him that it will be five hours again, so the mental level must be high,” explains the Spaniard’s coach, Juan Carlos.

Note that Djokovic’s level is “very high. Even on bad days he knows how to manage himself very well and solve those problems. We expect a very high level from Novak, we have to prepare him as much as it’s possible.”

There is one element that has appeared a lot in this edition of Wimbledon and that is Djokovic It will be requested for the final, because it will benefit him. If I had to choose, I would ask for rain, that the roof of the plant needs to be covered. Alcaraz cannot control the weather report, although the forecast calls for an outdoor game. Even in London you never know.

“In internal Djokovic is the best in the world. For me, given the choice, I’d rather be outdoors than indoors. But if necessary, I adapt, I have shown this in recent weeks,” said Alcaraz.

Ferrero stressed that “last year Djokovic seemed uncomfortable in the air. Indoors he played the ball very cleanly. It’s better to play open for Carlos. try to adapt as soon as possible.”
