Earlier in the day, the 21-year-old Spaniard Alcaraz, who is the third seed, fought back from a set down to see off Russian fifth seed Daniil Medvedev 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in the other semi-final match to seal his second successive Wimbledon and Grand Slam final.

The Serb and the Spaniard had met exactly a year ago at The All England Club, where Alcaraz defeated Djokovic after a thrilling contest that lasted four hours and 42 minutes.

24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, on the other hand, aims to tie Roger Federer for the most Wimbledon titles (8) and also break a tie with Margaret Court for most majors won by a man or woman.

The pair although years apart in terms of experience, have been locked in some tough matches, including two at Major tournaments. Here is a look at their head to head:
