Avenge, win, become GOAT - Djokovic's Sunday plan

Knock, knock, who is it? History.

That's how it sounds on Sunday at Wimbledon, as Novak Djokovic is just a step away from putting his name in the history books. If he beats Carlos Alcaraz in the All-England Club showdown (4 pm), he'll not only level Roger Federer's record of eight men's Wimbledon titles, but also secure his 25th Grand Slam singles triumph - something no one has ever done in the history of tennis!

"History will be on the line," says 37-year-old Djokovic, who had knee surgery three weeks before the start of the tournament.

It's a rematch time: Djokovic and Alcaraz in Wimbledon showdown

He is currently level with Australian Margaret Court on the all-time list with 24 singles majors.

"Of course, it serves as a great motivation," Djokovic said.

"But at the same time, there is also a lot of pressure and expectation. Wimbledon just extracts the best of me and motivates me to always show up and perform the best I can."

Today's clash between Djokovic and Alcaraz will be the rematch of last year's showdown, which Alcaraz won in five sets after four hours and 42 minutes.

Interestingly, Djokovic has not won a title in 2024, his worst start to a year since 2006, while Wimbledon will be his first final since the ATP Finals in November.

"I wasn't sure until three, four days before the tournament whether I'm going to take part," added Djokovic who had surgery in June after tearing the medial meniscus in his right knee at the French Open.

"I made an extra effort to recover as quickly as possible just because it was Wimbledon."
