Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are going to face off in the Wimbledon final on Sunday in what will be a dream match. Both players have demonstrated throughout this competition that they are a category above the rest of the pack and it seems that the Spanish sensation is the only guy who can stop Novak from winning his eighth Wimbledon.
During these two weeks, Novak Djokovic has been extremely generous with a lot of funny quotes. During the press conference that followed his semifinal against Jannick Sinner, talking about the final, Novak said: “This is probably the most anticipated finals I guess from the beginning of the tournament, from most of the people. Alcaraz, myself… It will be his first finals in Wimbledon.
He’s in great shape. He’s very motivated. He’s young. He’s hungry. I’m hungry, too, so let’s have a feast,” he added with a nice smile.
