Wimbledon 2024 Results: Instant Reactions to Friday's Winners and Losers

Nicholas NathansonJul 12, 2024

Novak Djokovic is back in the Wimbledon final for the sixth straight year.

The Serbian, who defeated Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets, will face Carlos Alcaraz for the second consecutive year.

For both players, Sunday's match carries paramount importance.

For Djokovic, it's the opportunity to tie Roger Federer's men's singles record of eight Wimbledon titles.

Alcaraz, at just 21 years old, is aiming to defend his Wimbledon title and win his fourth Grand Slam.

Lorenzo Musetti threw everything he had at Novak Djokovic.

Despite the Italian's impressive performance, Djokovic is back in the Wimbledon final for the sixth straight year.

The Serbian has looked dominant in his last two matches.

Meanwhile, his opponent in the final, Carlos Alcaraz, has dropped at least a set in each of his last four matches.

Alcaraz struggled early in the first set of Friday's semifinal against Daniil Medvedev, converting fewer than 50 percent of first serves while also committing uncharacteristic forehand errors.

However, the Spaniard has found ways to save his best tennis for when it matters most.

As suggested by their head-to-head battles, anything remains possible when Alcaraz and Djokovic face each other.

As things stand, Djokovic holds a slight edge with a lifetime 3-2 record against the Spanish phenom and has won both clashes since last year's instant five-set classic at Wimbledon that saw Alcaraz come out on top.

The last meeting, in the semifinals of the ATP Finals, saw Djokovic cruise past Alcaraz 6-3, 6-2 in straight sets.
