The Wimbledon Men’s Single Final will see the clash of the World No.1 and World No.2. Carlos Alcaraz will lock horns with Novak Djokovic on Sunday (July 16) on Centre Court in London.

Djokovic will be playing his fifth consecutive Wimbledon finals, whilst it’s the Spanish prodigy’s first final at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. The two have faced each other just twice, with both winning a match each.

Their last encounter was at the French Open this year where Djokovic defeated the 20-year-old in four sets: 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1. They first met each other at the 2022 Madrid Open.

If Djokovic wins the final against Alcaraz, he will have eight Wimbledon titles and will tie Roger Federer‘s all-time record for most Wimbledon titles. Nole will also tie with Margaret Court with 24 Grand Slam titles (in both men’s and women’s singles matches). So, ahead of their third meeting and a high-octane final, take a look at the other five records Djokovic will break if he wins the 2023 Wimbledon Championships.

1. If Novak Djokovic wins the 2023 Wimbledon final, he will become the third man in the Open Era to emerge victorious five consecutive times. Prior to him, the feat was achieved by Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg.

2. He will become the fourth man in the Open Era to clinch a trophy at a Grand Slam tournament five or more times. Before him, Federer won five trophies on the trot at the US Open from 2004-08 and Rafael Nadal won five consecutive titles at the French Open from 2010-14.

3. As Djokovic already won the season’s first two Grand Slam trophies (Australian Open and French Open), winning the Wimbledon will make him the second player in history to win the first three Grand Slam tournaments for the second time. The first on the list is Rod Laver, who reached the landmark in 1962 ad 1969 and interestingly, he went on to win the Grand Slam both times.

4. Djokovic turned 36 on May 22 this year and at 36 years and 55 days, he will become the oldest man in the Open Era to win multiple titles at SW19. Last year, he became the second oldest (aged 35 years and 49 days) player to win Wimbledon after Federer, who won the title in 2017 at the age of 35 years 343 days.

5. The 36-year-old Djokovic will become the oldest player in the Open Era to record winning the most Grand Slam titles aged 35 or older. If he wins, it will be his fourth Grand Slam title since turning 35.
