Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer will potentially go down as the three greatest tennis players of all time.
They claim the top three spots in the list of men’s Grand Slam titles in the Open Era, with their records not likely to be surpassed anytime soon.
Djokovic is out at the front with 24 titles to his name, closely followed by the 22 of Nadal and the 20 of Federer.
And the Serbian now has a fantastic chance to extend his lead, having reached yet another Wimbledon final.
It comes just after the seven-time champion underwent knee surgery after tearing his meniscus at the French Open last month.
Novak Djokovic achieves something Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal didn’t
Standing in his way, however, is Carlos Alcaraz, with the Spaniard having just won his third Grand Slam in Paris.
Regardless of what happens on Centre Court on Sunday, Djokovic can be proud of his efforts, with the Serbian clinching a new record after his semi-final win.
As per OptaAce, the 37-year-old has now reached a Grand Slam final for the 16th season in his career, the most of any player in the Open Era.
Djokovic has overtaken old rivals Federer and Nadal on the list, with the Swiss and the Spaniard having each reached 15.
Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic set for Wimbledon showdown
Djokovic hasn’t exactly been tested at this year’s Wimbledon compared to Alcaraz, with the former breezing into the final.
The 37-year-old has dropped just two sets en route to the final, while he was handed a walkover in the quarter-final after Alex De Minaur withdrew from injury.
Alcaraz meanwhile has taken on the likes of Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul and Daniil Medvedev, the first of which went the distance.
But the Spaniard always believed a victory was on the cards, with Alcaraz claiming he increases his level in fifth sets.
That should worry Djokovic, as will the claim from Tim Henman that Alcaraz can still reach another level at Wimbledon.
