London: The excitement for the Wimbledon men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic has reached a fever pitch, with ticket prices skyrocketing to unprecedented levels.

For those looking to splurge, the most expensive ticket is listed at USD 17,400 on the ticket-selling website TickPick.
In the semifinals, Spain’s defending champion Carlos Alcaraz showcased his dominance by defeating Russia’s Daniil Medvedev, the fifth seed, with a score of 6-7(1) 6-3 6-4 6-4. Meanwhile, seven-time champion Novak Djokovic clinically dispatched Italian Lorenzo Musetti with a 6-4 7-6(2) 6-4 victory.
While neither semifinal match truly captivated the Centre Court crowd, Sunday’s final promises to be a thrilling climax to a soggy Championships. Fans are eagerly anticipating a match that could rival the dizzying heights of last year’s classic, which Alcaraz won in a dramatic five-set battle.
The 37-year-old Djokovic is on the brink of history, aiming to win his eighth Wimbledon title and equal Roger Federer’s record for the most titles by a man at the grass-court major. A victory would also secure Djokovic his 25th Grand Slam singles title, more than any other player in tennis history⁴. This is particularly remarkable given that Djokovic underwent surgery for a torn meniscus in his right knee just over a month ago after an injury during the French Open.

On the other hand, the 21-year-old Alcaraz is riding high after winning the trophy at Roland Garros in June, marking his third major championship. This victory made him the youngest man to hold Grand Slam titles on grass, clay, and hard courts.
With such high stakes and incredible talent on display, Sunday’s final is set to be an unforgettable showdown. Tennis fans around the world are eagerly awaiting this historic clash at Wimbledon!
