The Grand Slam is nearing the curtain dropper that is the Men’s Singles final on Sunday. World No.3 in Men’s Singles ATP rankings, Novak Djokovic will meet the exceptional Nick Kyrgios in a blockbuster final to decide the winner of this year’s tournament in this particular category. 

The top seed in Men’s Singles, Djokovic had to come from a first-set deficit against Cameron Norrie to eventually secure his place in the final. It took the Serbian a total of two hours and 35 minutes to beat the United Kingdom star by a 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 score. The 20-time Grand Slam winner will be aiming for a seventh Wimbledon title when he takes to the court on Sunday against Nick Kyrgios.

It will be interesting to see how the clash between two of the most peculiar personalities in world tennis turns out at the Centre Court.

Dominance from the Djoker

Cameron Norrie began the tie all guns blazing. He showed incredible finesse and power in his stroke play. Completely catching the six-time Wimbledon champion, the ninth seed secured the first set 6-2. The 26-year-old was playing his first-ever semi-final at a Grand Slam. Backed by the home crowd, Norrie was ready for the occasion. 

However, that is when Novak Djokovic took his game up a few levels. Expectedly, the 35-year-old did not let his opponent settle into the game and took the next three sets convincingly. Eventually, he came away as a clear winner over Cameron Norrie.
