Wimbledon Tennis 2022 Men's Final: Live Stream for Novak Djokovic vs. Nick Kyrgios

At the start of 2022, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were tied atop the all-time men's Grand Slam title list with 20 apiece. But Nadal has since pulled ahead by winning both the Australian Open and French Open this year.

Djokovic now has an opportunity to narrow that gap. For the first time this year, the 35-year-old Serb has reached the final of a major tournament, as he'll take on Nick Kyrgios with the Wimbledon title on the line on Sunday at Centre Court.

Djokovic hasn't won a Grand Slam title since last year's Wimbledon, although he missed the Australian Open due to his COVID-19 vaccination status. Meanwhile, Kyrgios is making his first appearance in a Grand Slam final, having never previously advanced past the quarterfinals at a major tournament.

Here's everything else you need to know heading into Sunday's Wimbledon men's singles final matchup between Djokovic and Kyrgios.

It's never surprising to see Djokovic appear in the final at a major tournament, and many predicted him to reach that point again at Wimbledon this year. But few could have expected Kyrgios to make it this far.

In his previous four Wimbledon appearances, Kyrgios hadn't made it past the third round. Since the beginning of 2017, the 27-year-old Australian hadn't advanced past the fourth round at a Grand Slam event. And he had only reached that point twice (the 2018 and 2020 Australian Opens).

Kyrgios had a difficult draw for this year's Wimbledon, too. After beating No. 26-seeded Filip Krajinovic in three straight sets in the second round, Kyrgios then faced a challenging matchup against No. 4-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round.

Tsitsipas was expected to be among the top contenders in the tournament. Yet, Kyrgios pulled off an incredible upset, recording a 6-7 (2-7), 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (9-7) victory.

After defeating a pair of unseeded players in the fourth round and the quarterfinals, Kyrgios was supposed to face the No. 2-seeded Nadal in the semifinals. Nadal would have been a heavy favorite. However, he withdrew from the tournament due to an abdominal injury, allowing Kyrgios to move on without having to step on the court.

Now, Kyrgios will look to seize the opportunity and knock off the top-seeded Djokovic. It would be an upset bigger than Kyrgios' win over Tsitsipas. But Kyrgios is ready for the chance to stun the fans in attendance at Centre Court.

"I never thought I’d be here at all, to be brutally honest with you," Kyrgios said, per Howard Fendrich of the Associated Press.

Kyrgios has played Djokovic twice before, and the results might surprise many. Both matches took place on hard courts in 2017, and Kyrgios won each of those matchups in straight sets.

Djokovic takes things to another level on big stages, though. And he's sure to do that again Sunday, even if his run to the Wimbledon final hasn't been quite as dominant as some of his other performances at major tournaments.

In his first six matches at Wimbledon, Djokovic has gone to four sets three times, including in his semifinal victory over No. 9-seeded Cameron Norrie. Djokovic also needed five sets to beat No. 10-seeded Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals, as he dropped the first two sets before winning three straight to advance.

It doesn't matter how Djokovic got here, though, because now he has the opportunity to win his seventh career Wimbledon title, and his fourth in a row.

“Every match, every Grand Slam that I get to play at this stage of my career, there is a lot on the line. I don’t know how many Grand Slam opportunities to win the trophy I will still have,” Djokovic said, per Fendrich. "So, of course, I’m approaching it with positive attitude and self-belief and willingness to win. There’s no doubt about it."

There's a good chance that Djokovic will be victorious again on Sunday. But Kyrgios has proven that he can't be counted out over the past two weeks. So it's possible this matchup will be closer than it looks on paper.

However, it seems quite likely that Djokovic will be hoisting the trophy in celebration again at Centre Court.
