“Physically he's a beast. Mentally he's a beast. Everything is unbelievable for him,” says world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz of the record-seeking Novak Djokovic as they clash for the Wimbledon crown. Wimbledon

LONDON, England – Novak Djokovic likes nothing better than munching on Wimbledon’s Centre Court turf on men’s final day and after setting up what he billed as the “ultimate showdown” with Carlos Alcaraz, he now wants to gobble up a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title.

For the first time in his career, Djokovic stands alone on top of the men’s Grand Slam totem pole after he won the French Open last month to secure aBut that achievement has only fueled the 36-year-old’s burning desire. “It’s no secret that Grand Slams are the highest priority for me, the highest goals on my priority list. Every time I start the season, I want to peak at these four tournaments.Djokovic now stands one win away from equaling Roger Federer’s men’s record of eight Wimbledon titles and if he hoists the pineapple-topped gilded Challenge Cup on Sunday, he will draw level with Margaret Court’s haul of 24 majors – an all-time record the Australian has held for 50 years.

No doubt he would have learnt a lot of life lessons from that distressing episode, and the way Alcaraz has been playing at Wimbledon means the Serbian will face a player that John McEnroe describes as being “better than Federer, Djokovic, and Nadal were at 20. This guy is amazing”.
