NOVAK Djokovic says “history will be on the line” when he faces Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon men’s singles final.
Djokovic has the opportunity to equal Roger Federer’s record of eight men’s Wimbledon titles and secure a record 25th Grand Slam singles triumph with victory on Sunday.
The Serb, 37, who had knee surgery three weeks before the start of the tournament, is level with Australian Margaret Court on the all-time list with 24 singles majors.
“Of course, it serves as a great motivation,” Djokovic said.

“But at the same time there is also a lot of pressure and expectation.
“Wimbledon just extracts the best of me and motivates me to always show up and perform the best I can.”
The highly anticipated showdown is a repeat of last year’s final which Alcaraz won in five thrilling sets after four hours and 42 minutes.
