Wimbledon 2023 tennis preview
Nothing confirms the onset of summer like the Wimbledon fortnight. And the 2023 Championships have been among the most intriguing for some time, with ranking points up for grabs. Today's Centre Court action is the men's final with Carlos Alcaraz vs Novak Djokovic at 2pm BST today.
Novak Djokovic is still the favourite in the men's singles. The 36-year-old now stands alone atop the Grand Slam men's singles tree with 23 major titles to his name after a typically nerveless victory at the French Open in early June. The defending champion lifted his seventh SW19 crown 12 months ago, beating Nick Kyrgios in four sets in the final, and in 2023 has the Calendar Slam in his sights after winning the Australian Open to go with his Roland Garros success.
Djokovic faces young gun Carlos Alcarez in today's final. The Spaniard entered and won Queen's and the signs are that his muscle problems are a thing of the past. Alcaraz has romped through the rounds at Wimbledon with relative ease, making short work of Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals. With both he and Djokovic in fine form, it's set to be an all-time classic this afternoon but will it be the handing over the mantle or the crowning of a tennis legend?
Wimbledon is arguably the tournament the world's top tennis stars look forward to most and is not to be missed, especially with those ranking points up for grabs again this year. Read on and we'll show you how to watch a Wimbledon 2023 live stream free online.
