Djokovic battles to save legacy of Wimbledon’s golden generation

LONDON, June 30 — Novak Djokovic is poised to mount a one-man battle to preserve the legacy of Wimbledon ’s golden generation in the face of an increasingly successful new wave spearheaded by Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

He was succeeded as Australian Open champion by Sinner with the Italian also taking his world number one ranking.Djokovic then saw his French Open crown pass to Alcaraz after he limped out of Paris suffering from a torn meniscus in his right knee. Germany’s world number four Alexander Zverev on Saturday predicted this year’s Wimbledon will be the “most open in 20 years”.

Alcaraz, who opens Centre Court action on Monday against 262nd-ranked Mark Lajal of Estonia, has a chance to complete a rare French Open-Wimbledon double in the same season. The top-seeded Italian has racked up four titles in 2024, losing just three of 41 matches. He faces Germany’s Yannick Hanfmann in his Monday opener.The 37-year-old British star, who famously ended Britain’s 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men’s champion with his 2013 victory, plans to bow out at the Olympics.
