Alcaraz vs Djokovic Head-to-Head History

Though Alcaraz won the final at Wimbledon last year, Djokovic is 3-2 all-time against the young Spaniard, including winning each of the last two meetings. Both of those were on hard court, though. Alcaraz is 1-0 against Djokovic on grass, 1-1 on clay, and 0-2 on hard court.

Djokovic Cruises to Wimbledon Final Despite Knee Surgery

Just over a month ago, Djokovic was forced to withdraw from the French Open ahead of his quarterfinal clash with Casper Ruud. He underwent surgery on his meniscus yet has looked no worse for wear throughout Wimbledon. Djokovic has won nine straight sets against Lorenzo Musetti, Holger Rune, and Alexei Popyrin en route to the finals, and also benefited from a withdrawal by Alex de Minaur in the quarters, meaning his rehabbing knee was saved a little court time.

Prior to his loss to Alcaraz in the 2023 final, Djokovic had won 34 straight matches at SW19, including the 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022 crowns. (The 2020 tournament was canceled due to COVID.)

Alcaraz Pushed in Wimbledon Title Defense

The reigning-champion’s route back to the finals has been considerably tougher than Novak’s. After winning his first two matches in straight sets, Alcaraz has needed at least four sets in his last four, losing the first set in three of those matches. Alcaraz was taken to a fifth set by Francis Tiafoe in the third round, needing to win a fourth-set tiebreak just to stay in the match.

For the second straight year, he got the better of former world #1 Daniil Medvedev in the semis (6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4).

Alcaraz and Djokovic are scheduled to start their 2024 Wimbledon final at 9:00 am ET on Sunday.
