After losing the past two Wimbledon finals to Carlos Alcaraz, Djokovic is motivated by the prospect of matching Roger Federer's record of eight men's titles at the All England Club. This adds extra incentive to his pursuit of a historic 25th Grand Slam win.
At 38, Novak Djokovic is acutely aware that time is running out to add to his Grand Slam tally, despite his consistent presence in Wimbledon finals since 2018. The emergence of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner at the top of the men's game adds urgency to his pursuit of another title.
