In the men’s singles, 36-year-old Novak Djokovic of Serbia, who has won 22 Grand Slams, will face a tough challenge from Spain’s 20-year-old young star Carlos Alcarez. It will be a contest between experience and enthusiasm. Alcarez is the world number one player while Djokovic is currently at number three. If Alcarez reaches the final, he will retain the number one position and if Djokovic wins the final, he will be number one again.
Roger Federer of Switzerland, who is included in the Big Three of tennis, has retired from the game and the king of red gravel here, Rafael Nadal is not participating this time due to injury. In such a situation, there is a chance for the third veteran Djokovic to win a record 23rd Grand Slam. Djokovic has won the title here in 2016 and 2021.
Alcarez in high spirits after defeating Tsitsipas
Top seed Alcarez defeated Lorenzo Musetti of Italy and Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece en route to the semi-finals. Alcarez, who won the US Open last year, called his match against Tsitsipas a master class and he will have to show the same level of play against Djokovic.
