Get ready, tennis fans! 🎾 The Wimbledon finals are about to serve up a thrilling rematch between Spain's defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and the legendary Novak Djokovic. Both players showcased their dominance in the semi-finals on Friday, setting the stage for a blockbuster showdown on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, displayed his mastery by defeating Italy's Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 7-6(2), 6-4. The Serbian maestro was in top form, returning serves with such precision that Musetti remarked, \"Today was really a joke at the end how he was returning my serve.\"
