Iga Sfjontek and Amanda Anisimova have advanced to the finals of the women's tournament at Wimbledon, and today the finalists in the men's competition will be announced - Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Freese will take to the court first, followed by the blockbuster clash between Novak Djokovic and Janik Siner.

The Italian and Serbian tennis players are expected to be spectacular in the duel. It will be their third meeting at Wimbledon - Djokovic won the previous two matches. Three years ago, the best tennis player of all time, after a major turnaround and five sets, won in the quarterfinals (3:2), and then in 2023 he was better in the semifinals (3:0).

But, in the last five matches in all tournaments, including one exhibition, Djokovic has not won against Siner, who last triumphed in the semifinals of Roland Garros.

"I lost to Janik 3-0 at Garros, I think I played pretty well, maybe I could have done better, but he was better when it mattered most. Now I have a new opportunity and for me this is the most important thing, to be in the last phase of the Grand Slam and to play against the best in the world, that's him and Alcaraz, without a rival. It's definitely the biggest challenge I can have. I can't wait, I'll do my best to get ready and play as well as possible," said Djokovic.

Djokovic did not practice the day before the match. He had problems against Flavius ​​Cobolli in the quarter-final match, when he slipped in the last game, and it seemed that he had strained the knee, which he had surgery on last year. But Siner did not practice the day before the quarter-final match with Shelton either, and then he quickly secured a place in the semi-finals.

"I'm focused on recovering and preparing my body for a very physically demanding fight. I hope I can play with him if necessary and all five sets. I'll have to be the best version of myself to beat Janik. I'm aware of that and that's all I'm thinking about right now. To prepare myself physically and mentally, so that I can fight with him for as long as it takes," said Djokovic.
