djokovic backs alcaraz to win more slams but hopefully not on sunday

Novak Djokovic has backed Carlos Alcaraz to rack up more Grand Slam titles, but the Serb hopes that run doesnt start when they clash in a blockbuster Wimbledon final on Sunday.

Djokovic will equal Roger Federers record of eight Wimbledon titles and become the tournaments oldest champion of the modern era if he avenges last years All England Club final loss to Alcaraz.

The 37-year-old will also claim a 25th Grand Slam title, a record for men and women, just five weeks after undergoing surgery on his right knee.

But Djokovic knows the threat posed by the dynamic Alcaraz, who recovered from losing the first set to dispatch Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals on Friday.

A great example for young players

He is a great example as a young player that has a well balanced life on and off the court. He has great values in his family and a lot of charisma, said Djokovic, who will be playing in his first final of the year on Sunday.
