The men’s final features a rematch of the 2023 Wimbledon championship, as No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz once again defends his title against No. 2 Novak Djokovic
• 2 min read
The 2024 Wimbledon men’s semifinals concluded on Friday, and the final will feature a rematch of the 2023 final between No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 2 Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz previously beat Djokovic in a five-set thriller, 1-6, 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, to claim his first Wimbledon title and, at the time, his second major championship. In this year’s semifinal, Alcaraz defeated No. 5 Daniil Medvedev, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Djokovic beat No. 25 Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6, 6-4. The men’s final is scheduled for Sunday at 9 a.m. ET.
The women’s singles final was set Thursday, and it features two first-time finalists. No. 7 Jasmine Paolini defeated unseeded Donna Vejkic 2-6, 6-4, 7-6, while No. 31 Barbora Krejčíková stunned No. 4 Elena Rybakina in a come-from-behind upset, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Krejčíková, a 10-time doubles Grand Slam champion, will appear in her second career Grand Slam singles final after winning the French Open in 2021. The women’s final is slated for Saturday at 9 a.m. ET.
As Krejčíková’s upset victory proved, the women’s competition has been more unpredictable. Last year’s winner Markéta Vondroušová was upset in the first round. Australian Open winner Aryna Sabalenka withdrew from Wimbledon due to a right shoulder injury. Then, World No. 1 Iga Swiatek lost to Yulia Putintseva in the third round.
Another big shock was seeing No. 2 Coco Gauff fall to Emma Navarro in straight sets in the round of 16. The quarterfinals saw Navarro struggle to compete against No. 7 seed Jasmine Paolini, the Italian star who reached the French Open final last month.
Here is the schedule, key matchups, and singles seeds for Wimbledon 2024.
