2023 Wimbledon Final: Carlos Alcaraz vs. Novak Djokovic

[UnforcedTerror]

Here we are at the moment of passing the torch everyone was waiting for and expecting. Make sure not to miss it.

Alcaraz & British crowd in 4.

I'm just glad Novak has already secured the Slam record and the TCGS at RG lol

Alcaraz to win Wimbledon and dominate the rest of the season, or should I say the decade? What a freak!

Chance for redemption for Carlos

Should be fun!

 

[Rago]

One of them in 5. Should be a great match.

 

[ADuck]

This is the only match that can save the tournament. I will go against StrongRule and say Alcaraz in 5.

 

[I Am Finnish]

183cm for the win just because I want to see @Lleytonstation in ruins

I don’t see it that way. He needs one more, or RAFA will be back with fire in his belly. This is it.

Djokovic in 5. Vamos.

 

[Terenigma]

Djokovic in 4.

Alcaraz played really well but Medvedev was poor on return, I don't expect Novak to be so easy on return and that third set saw some poor choking, gifting breaks away but got there in the end. It should be a great match either way, looking forward to it!

 

[zvelf]

We're now set up for the potentially most exciting slam final in 3 years.

 

[BeatlesFan]

Djokovic in four, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3.

 

[tennis_pro]

Djokovic in straight sets.

Novak’s returning hasn’t been too great this tournament either.

 

[Soul_Evisceration]

At their Semifinal Roland Garros encounter, I predicted Alcaraz would win in 4 sets and I was wrong.

This time around, I predict Djokovic in 4 sets (hopefully I'm wrong again).

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

What an incredible final we got! Both guys in amazing form. Both have the game and mentality to win. I feel this time though we will get a new champion.

Alcaraz in 5 is my prediction. I look forward to the battle. Both will fight all the way and djoko won’t go down without a huge fight.

 

[Noleberic123]

Djokovic in 4 is probably the safest bet but no outcome would surprise me

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Yay, a final with the 2 best players. Just think Djokovic is too good. Let us find out.

 

[guga_fan]

Novak’s returning hasn’t been too great this tournament either.

Yeah, there is always a chance he will just turn it on come Sunday, but his decline on return has been a trend for a while.

 

[Lleytonstation]

183cm for the win just because I want to see @Lleytonstation in ruins

172cm beat a nobody.

Chance for redemption for Carlos

Should be fun!

I give him this, the USO and AO 2024 as chances for Carlos to score 1 big win over Novak just because he's 20.

Anything after that won't really have much value.

 

[Rebel-I.N.S]

Carlitos is the real deal. I think this goes 5.

 

[Kralingen]

2 match threads?

 

[tennisjedi]

Djokovic in 4. His much bigger grass experience will win in the end.

Of course I want Alcaraz to win, but I just don't see it.

 

[DSH]

Duel between the charismatic Alcaraz and the unpleasant Djokovic in the final.
I wonder which of the two players will the crowd support more?

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

183cm for the win just because I want to see @Lleytonstation in ruins

@Lleytonstation is so short he needs binoculars just to be able to talk with me while looking in the eyes.

 

[TheNachoMan]

This is more about @Kralingen vs @StrongRule than Alcaraz vs Djokovic to me. Who will have the bragging rights?

 

[Sampras-Bruguera 1993]

Djoker straight sets. Carlos didn’t have enough good opposition warmups to prepare for him. Med is a joke on grass. So is Rune

 

[mike danny]

Djokovic in 3 or 4. Alcaraz is not above the Next Gen just yet even if he is better than them.

Just another disappointing big match like most big Djokovic matches these past few years.

 

[middleballs]

Alcaraz will redeem himself and win it in 4.

 

[Lleytonstation]

@Lleytonstation is so short he needs binoculars just to be able to talk with me while looking in the eyes.

And you need a telescope to watch the match on Sunday to see 172cm

 

[PSNELKE]

Carlos to save tennis on Sunday. Light will prevail over the darkness, good is going to beat evil.

 

[TheNachoMan]

Djokovic in 3 or 4. Alcaraz is not above the Next Gen just yet even if he is better than them.

I think that’s mental scarring speaking there bro, Carlos is different. You can just feel it.

 

[tudwell]

Voted with my heart and not my head.

In terms of what they can do on the court, there’s hardly anything between them. Only clear gap any direction is probably on the first serve, but that alone isn’t necessarily decisive. Where Novak has a huge advantage is in experience – he knows this court like the back of his hand. Knows the patterns to play, when and why and how and when to change it up. He knows that stuff so well he probably doesn’t even have to think about it. Alcaraz on the other hand is totally fresh. That’ll probably be the difference, but I want to believe Alcaraz pulls off the win.

 

[JoelSandwich]

Hope Alcaraz wins but I think Djokovic will win in 4
Really hope I’m wrong

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

And you need a telescope to watch the match on Sunday to see 172cm

Unfortunately I'd most likely be unable to watch as I'd be flying lol.

 

[mike danny]

No, I can't. RG taught me something important: that Carlos doesn't think like a champion yet.

 

[Carax]

It depends, are we going to have Alcagrass or Crampcaraz playing?

I agree... IMO he shouldn't have lost at the FO.. the nerves got to him..

A redemption in Wimb will be epic

 

[Kralingen]

The level Carlos showed is beyond Novak’s level.

But I do not know whether that is enough to win the match. Either way, hoping for a classic.

I think the main issue is bringing a similar level to the finals..

 

[Nostradamus]

You heard it here first folks............ from Brad Gilbert. " Carlos Alcarez level way he's playing right now is good enough to BEAT novak on sunday"

 

[The Guru]

I give him this, the USO and AO 2024 as chances for Carlos to score 1 big win over Novak just because he's 20.

We'll see how much value any potential wins have when we see how well each guy plays in them. If Carlos can pull this off I'd be very impressed because Novak has shown a solid level so far.

 

[Jonas78]

Heart says Carlo, everything else says Djoker...

 

[legcramp]

I am pumped, Carlos in great form, Djoker in great form and both finished in straights. Gonna be fireworks.

 

[Sephiroth]

where is @TennisFan3 ?

he's always right

 

[PSNELKE]

Charles von Alcaraz is going to take down the evil empire on sunday, the beginning of the end of the darkness that has ruled this sport for years now. Order is going to be restored and tennis will be a peoples sport again, played by authentic gentlemen.

 

[mike danny]

We'll see how much value any potential wins have when we see how well each guy plays in them. If Carlos can pull this off I'd be very impressed because Novak has shown a solid level so far.

That's the thing. Anything after next year's AO won't be too meaningful with Novak being 37.

 

[Carax]

If Alcaraz wins this one, he would've overcome a brutal draw. Jarry, Berrettini, Rune, Med, and Djokovic.

 

[paolo2143]

Best 2 players of tournament and currently in the world by far. I think Carlos will give it everything but Novak in a Wimbledon final is a monster to beat. If under roof would definitely think Novak is favourite. However if outdoors in windy conditions then much closer but will go for Novak in a very tense and tight 4 setter.

 

[rhoder]

Djokovic’s serve/return game will dismantle Alcaraz. He will be in every Alcaraz service game. Alcaraz had problems facing Djokovic’s serve in RG, much less here.
