This years Mens Final on Sunday will be a rematch from last year. Novak Djokovic will play last years champion Carlos Alcarez. Alcarez, who won the French Open last month will be going for his 4th Grand slam title. Meanwhile Djokovic, who just had knee surgery on June 5th is playing for a record 25th Grand Slam title, and 8th Wimbledon crown. Djokovic is currently tied with Margaret Court with 24 Grand slams.
In todays semifinals Djokovic defeated Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets, while Alcarez defeated #5 Danill Medvedev in four sets. Last years Wimbledon final between Djokovic and Alcarez was a thrilling 5 set match.

That makes it the most expensive get-in price ever recorded for a sporting event on

That price had better include at least a hot dog and soda. LOL

Alcaraz dispatched Djokovic in 3 straight sets. It would be nice to see Djokovic win a 25th Grand Slam, perhaps the upcoming US Open.

If Djokovic does win the US Open this year, he will set 2 records: most Grand Slams (25), and he will be the oldest men's singles Grand Slam champion, breaking Ken Rosewall's record of 37 years 1 month at the 1972 Australian Open.

And Djokovic also holds the record for most Grand Slam finals.

@coolstanley Yes that is correct. Unbelievable that he has made it to 37 Grand Slam finals, winning 24 of them. He is really distancing himself from Nadal and Federer as the GOAT. 2 more Grand Slam titles than Nadal and 4 more than Federer. He seems to get more records the longer he plays. It would be cool to see him win one more Grand Slam at age 37 or older.

Was a little surprised that it wasn't as competitive as I thought it would be.
