Carlos Alcaraz Going for His Second Major in 2024
Carlos Alcaraz is only 21, but the Spanish player has already won three majors. Two years ago, he won the US Open. A year later, he won the Wimbledon Gentlemen’s Singles Tournament, a title he is defending on July 14 against the same opponent – Novak Djokovic.
Alcaras has got every right to feel optimistic as he’s been brilliant since coming to England. In fact, he’s been playing elite tennis for the past couple of months. During this run, we saw him win the French Open.
Alcaraz won the tournament in Paris, which is the only major that uses clay as the playing surface. Now, he’s playing on grass, which he seems to prefer. The evidence of this is that he’s 7-1 on grass courts this year. Last year, he went 12-0 on this surface. The bad news for him is that Djokovic too loves playing on this type of court.
Novak Djokovic Aiming His 25th Grand Slam Trophy
Novak Djokovic is the record holder for most majors with 25 titles. Second on that list is Rafael Nadal with 22. Of the four Grand Slam tournaments, he loves the Australian Open the most, but he’s also had plenty of success at Wimbledon.
In fact, he’s won the English Grand Slam on seven occasions. Only Roger Federer has won the Gentlemen’s Singles Tournament more times. He did it on eight occasions, meaning that Djoker has a chance to equal his record.
He loves playing in tournaments that use grass, the proof being that he has lost only two of his last 50 matches on this type of court. Further, he’s 5-0 on grass in 2024.
Carlos Alcaraz vs. Novak Djokovic Prediction
We think that the Carlos Alcaraz vs. Novak Djokovic match on July 14 will be almost exactly the same as the Wimbledon Final from last year. It was a 5-set battle that lasted for 4:43 hours, which the Spanish player won in the end.
Pick: Carlos Alcaraz
