Novak Djokovic has been kept away from the Wimbledon crown for the past two years. On both occasions it was Carlos Alcaraz who stopped the legendary Serb in the final hurdle.

He passed Roger Federer, who has made the final four of Wimbledon 13 times. Jimmy Connors has 11 appearances followed by Boris Becker with 9. It's another key record that adds to Djokovic's case as the best player to ever grace Wimbledon Centre Court.

On Friday, Djokovic will try to reach his seventh consecutive final at the All England Club and get closer to equaling Roger Federer’s men’s mark of eight trophies there. The other men’s semifinal is two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated Djokovic in the 2023 and 2024 finals, against Taylor Fritz.
