It felt inevitable that the 2023 Wimbledon men’s final would be a showdown between tournament-favorite Novak Djokovic and World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz.
men’s final would be a showdown between tournament-favorite Novak Djokovic and World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz.
Djokovic, the four-time defending champion and currently riding a 45-match winning streak on Centre Court, is a -190 favorite to beat Alcaraz on Sunday. But the fact Alcaraz, a 20-year-old playing his first Wimbledon final, is a short underdog by tennis standards tells you the market is quite bullish on the Spanish wunderkind despite the fact he’s just a month removed from a whitewashing at the hands of Djokovic in the French Open semifinal. And you can’t blame bettors for being tempted by the idea of Alcaraz at any underdog price.
Not only does he have an unblemished 11-0 record on grass this season, but he hardly has been in trouble.The rub is that Djokovic’s record on the lawn is legendary, and he also has a massive edge in experience, as a 23-time Grand Slam and seven-time Wimbledon champion.
