There’s no doubt about it,” said Djokovic, who is on a 27-match unbeaten run at Wimbledon. “I don’t want to speak about all the details and routines that I have that make me feel well-balanced and prepared. “Every match, every Grand Slam that I get to play at this stage of my career, there is a lot on the line. It’s tough to read his serve when he tosses the ball up,” said Brandon Nakashima, an American who lost to Kyrgios in the fourth round. He is 2-0 against Djokovic, albeit in a pair of matches on hard courts five years ago. As things currently stand, he is not allowed into the United States as an unvaccinated foreigner, which mean he couldn’t go to New York for the U.S. Open in August. “He disguised it pretty well. Kyrgios, not one for holding his tongue, was particularly critical of Djokovic for organizing a charity exhibition tour in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. But there are things that I do in order to make myself mentally, emotionally and physically well-prepared.” It was interesting for the media, the people watching, all that.” He is averaging 24 aces per match. “It was healthy for the sport. “We actually message each other on DMs in Instagram now and stuff.

Norrie pretty much breaks himself, lashing a mid-court forehand into the tramlines for 15-30 before failing to elevate his shots above the net in the next two points. Once again Djokovic is his own worst enemy. Djokovic raises his arm aloft as he finishes off with a deft volley after his tweener lob outdid Norrie’s excellent effort with the same shot. Each error is greeted by a massive cheer. The Serb inexplicably lashes a high bouncing ball well out of court off the forehand to trail 15-30. DJOKOVIC 2-1 NORRIE Quite literally EVERYONE is waiting for Djokovic to turn up now. The British No.1 wobbles with a couple of double faults but also lands a pair of aces, with the second well-timed on his second set point. Djokovic has been far from his best and after a nervy start, Cam deservedly took a 32-minute opener. He responds with a rasping forehand up the line that sets up a knifed winner off the backhand. The No.9 seed continues to be brave and saves it with a blistering crosscourt forehand to make deuce. DJOKOVIC 2-6 2-1 NORRIE

Novak Djokovic will play for his 4th straight Wimbledon title and 21st Grand Slam championship in Sunday's final against Nick Kyrgios.

In his third-round upset of No. 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas, Kyrgios frequently cursed, insulted the umpire and at one point called for Tsitsipas to be disqualified after the Greek hit a ball toward fans in the stands. “I'm one of the most competitive people that I know. He had never been past the quarterfinals of any major before this run. I'm ready for the challenge.” Nadal had won the first two legs of the Grand Slam and was 19-0 in majors in 2022 before pulling out. “We’ll never see a competitor like Rafa again,” he said. All eyes will be on Kyrgios to see if he tones down his act in the Wimbledon final. Djokovic has lost both matches with Kyrgios, but those were back in 2017 and neither was at a major. “It’s obvious that history is on the line.” He’s playing so freely, he has one of the biggest serves in the game. It was the first walkover in a Wimbledon semifinal. “It’s going to be his first Grand Slam final, obviously he’s very excited and he doesn’t have much to lose and he’s always playing like that.

A particularly sloppy service game by Norrie, with a trio of unforced errors, helped Djokovic break to lead 5-3 in the second set. Norrie ran to that, twisted his body to reply with a forehand and Djokovic ended the 14-stroke exchange with a drop volley winner. Only two of Norrie's first 20 points in the match came via winners he produced. For the quality player that he is, this is where he needs to be, and he deserves to be." "You're not swinging through the ball so smoothly as you would like to." A berth in the final earned? So Djokovic ran back toward the baseline, the net behind him, and conjured up a between-the-legs, facing-the-wrong-way, high-arching lob of his own that somehow landed in. Indeed, until this fortnight, Norrie never had been past the third round at a major, going 0-5 at that stage previously. To him, this was not a monumental achievement. But unlike in the quarterfinals, when he dropped the opening two sets against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner before winning in five, it took little time for Djokovic to assert his dominance. Honestly, as a tennis fan, I'm glad that he's in the finals because he's got so much talent. "So in a way it's also not surprise for me that he's there.

Cameron Norrie had two long days to think about exactly what he could do to get under Novak Djokovic's skin in the biggest match of his life, ...

The next step in his career is to ensure that he is here again and again. The immense pressure only continued as the fourth set began and Djokovic broke again in the opening game. As he gradually fell into a rhythm on his groundstrokes, locking down on unforced errors, he began to dictate and as he put Norrie under pressure in his own service games, the contest reached a potential turning point. But charged with taking greater risks than usual and playing far out of his own comfort zone, the British player’s errors piled up and the gap between the 20-time grand slam champion and debut semi-finalist was vast. Djokovic generated the first break points of the second set in a long game at 3-2 which he failed to take. On the biggest stage at Wimbledon, against one of the superstars of the sport, he stood with an opportunity to show his abilities.

The three-time defending champion turned up the heat to advance in four sets on Friday, setting a blockbuster showdown with Nick Kyrgios.

By HOWARD FENDRICH, AP Tennis Writer. WIMBLEDON, England — Novak Djokovic fashioned a second consecutive comeback victory at Wimbledon on Friday, ...

A particularly sloppy service game by Norrie, with a trio of unforced errors, helped Djokovic break to lead 5-3 in the second set. Norrie ran to that, twisted his body to reply with a forehand and Djokovic ended the 14-stroke exchange with a drop volley winner. Only two of Norrie’s first 20 points in the match came via winners he produced. “You're not swinging through the ball so smoothly as you would like to.” So Djokovic ran back toward the baseline, the net behind him, and conjured up a between-the-legs, facing-the-wrong-way, high-arching lob of his own that somehow landed in.

But unlike in the quarterfinals, when he dropped the opening two sets against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner before winning in five, it took little time for Djokovic to assert his dominance. All in all, it was quite a celebration after merely one of what would become 35 games, after five of 202 points, four of 154 minutes. Was the championship won? Some Union Jack flags waved in the stands.

Djokovic beat Cameron Norrie of Britain in the only semifinal played Friday, after Kyrgios advanced on Rafael Nadal's withdrawal with an injury.

In the eighth game of the set, Norrie sent a forehand long to give Djokovic a 5-3 lead. Djokovic put a baseball cap on to protect himself from the heat of the sun, and midway through he stopped giving free points to Norrie. Suddenly Norrie found himself fighting off break points every time he served. But Djokovic is masterful at taking an opponent’s best — and the chiding of a crowd — and biding his time for an opening to appear.

The controversial Australian is most likely to play the favourite to win Wimbledon in Sunday's final - if Djokovic negotiates his way past British hope Cameron ...

This is a great version of Djokovic but it's not the best, meaning if he is Kyrgios' opponent in the final, the Australian can win if he performs near his peak. But the Serbian has managed to get the job done when he hasn't been playing well and there has been periods of his best tennis, namely against Thanasi Kokkinakis (round two), Miomir Kecmanovic (round three) and the final three sets of the five-set win against Sinner. Against Brandon Nakashima in the fourth round, it was clear Kyrgios wasn't performing at peak level, but he once again rose to the challenge despite appearing flat throughout much of the contest. Kyrgios lost the first set against world no.4 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round - who had won ATP Mallorca on grass prior to Wimbledon - but the Aussie bounced back despite several controversies to win in four sets. In the first round, he was flat against British wildcard Paul Jubb, but when he needed to lift in the deciding set, Kyrgios stood up when it mattered. This is no disrespect to Norrie, who is world no.12 and has had a fine Wimbledon so far, but the Brit is coming off a gruelling five-setter against David Goffin in the quarters and has never beaten a 'big four' (Rafael Nadal, Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray) player before - holding an 0-9 record.

Novak Djokovic and Cameron Norrie play each other for the second time in their careers in their Wimbledon 2022 singles semifinal. Here's how to watch.

Australia (TAB) USA (Draftkings) UK (Skybet) Novak Djokovic vs. Novak Djokovic vs. Will Djokovic's 26-match unbeaten run at Wimbledon continue or can Norrie serve up a seismic surprise?

Novak Djokovic defeated Cameron Norrie 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in the Wimbledon semifinals and will play Nick Kyrgios on Sunday in the final.

Djokovic previously won Wimbledon in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2021. Because the tournament was not played in 2020 due to the pandemic, defeating Kyrgios would mean that Djokovic has won it four times in a row. He wanted to probably go for all four.

The Serbian then gained a decisive break at the start of the fourth set, before he zoned in on serve to seal victory. At 4-3, he missed a couple of put-aways and gifted me that game and I felt from that game momentum shifted a little bit.” I was a bit tight at the start of the match, not swinging through the ball as smoothly as I would have liked to and Cameron was dominating the play,” Djokovic added. He is playing so freely, one of the biggest serves in the game. He is very excited and he doesn’t have much to lose and he is always playing like that. He is a great player and I have a lot of respect for him.”

Cameron Norrie takes on Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon semifinals and Nick Kyrgios awaits in the final on Sunday.

3.15pm: Norrie leads Djokovic out on Centre Court to a huge round of applause. Djokovic claws two back but Norrie then comes to the net and hits a lovely volley out of his opponent's reach. A mammoth rally ends with Norrie upping the pace on his backhand and Djokovic can't return it on his forehand. Norrie gets to 30-15 with a massive serve down the middle that Djokovic can only return long and the same happens again at the next point. He then can't clear the net with a backhand and Djokovic has two immediate points to break back. Djokovic then attempts to lure Norrie in with a drop shot but the Briton is quick to make it to the net and returns it. A couple more Djokovic backhands hit the net and Norrie has two break points. Norrie said he was going to take the game to Djokovic today and boy is he doing that so far. Norrie hits his third ace of the match to get to 30-0. The crowd and Norrie both can't believe he's missed a backhand volley when running to the net, 15-30. Djokovic gets the break and is in complete control right now. Djokovic soon has break point as he punishes Norrie's decision to lure him to the net and then thee latter's forehand goes long.

What is the head-to-head record between Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios, who will play each other in the Wimbledon final on Sunday?

What time is the Wimbledon women’s singles final? What time is the Wimbledon men’s singles final? Kyrgios has won their prior meetings (both in 2017) without dropping a set and without dropping serve.

Novak Djokovic will face Nick Kyrgios in the Wimbledon final on Sunday as the top seed came from behind to defeat Cameron Norrie 2-6 6-3 6-2 6-4.

The Serb completed the victory when he thumped a serve out of Norrie's reach. We haven't played for some time, I've never won a set off him, so hopefully it can be different this time." "It's going to be his first grand slam final, obviously he's very excited," he said. He returned to the court wearing a cap in the second set and held his first game to love. He's playing so freely, he has one of the biggest serves in the game. You have a lot of pressure, expectations from yourself and of course from others as well."

Novak Djokovic is into the Wimbledon final, eyeing a fourth consecutive title and a 21st career Grand Slam singles title to move within one of Rafael Nadal.

“When it was really tough for me in Australia, he was one of the very few players that came out publicly and supported me and stood by me,” said Djokovic, who may be excluded from the next two majors — the U.S. Open and Australian Open — for not getting vaccinated. Djokovic has one loss in a completed match at Wimbledon in the last nine years and is riding a 38-match win streak on Centre Court, according to the Tennis Podcast. He knows the emotions he’s going to be feeling. Though Djokovic won’t face a top-10 player at this tournament, he was challenged en route to the final. Djokovic broke his tie with Federer for the most Grand Slam men’s finals, now 32. “I’ve never been here before, so that’s where Djokovic has the advantage from the get-go,” Kyrgios said Friday, noting he got one hour of sleep the previous night because of nerves and anxiety already knowing he had a pass into the final.

Novak Djokovic has reached his eighth Wimbledon final by winning his 27th consecutive match at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.

A particularly sloppy service game by Norrie, with a trio of unforced errors, helped Djokovic break to lead 5-3 in the second set. Djokovic broke to open the third. Norrie ran to that, twisted his body to reply with a forehand and Djokovic ended the 14-stroke exchange with a drop volley winner. Djokovic committed 12 unforced errors in the first set alone. No. A berth in the final earned? Exactly what allows Djokovic to trail, then win — he has seven career comebacks from a two-set hole, including in the 2021 French Open final — is hard to know. He hit a spinning half-volley on the move, but Norrie replied with a lob. But unlike in the quarterfinals, when he dropped the opening two sets against Jannik Sinner before winning in five, it took little time for Djokovic to assert his dominance. To him, this was not a monumental achievement. When Norrie’s volley winner completed a break in that initial game, he hopped and threw an uppercut. It's that when he does, he knows how to deal with it. It's not that he wants to fall behind in matches, of course.

Tennis fans will be asked to choose between a pair who can be hard to love for wildly differing reasons.

The winners got Australian of the Year nominations. I’ve never seen a sportsperson with a more innate grasp of risk and reward than Novak Djokovic. With apologies to Viv Richards, I’ve never seen a sportsperson with more authoritative body language. We’re left with the most overlooked and interesting thing about these two men – their tennis. We’re left with the very thing tennis crowds fear most – no one to cheer for. It’s hard to think of two more different sportspeople. There was a lot of contorting, a lot of yelling, a reset. It’s hard to think of two more different men. He tried to play the court jester, and tennis crowds cringed. He was always at his best when the crowd was blatantly against him, when the animal within was unleashed. A year earlier, he’d penned an open letter to the people of Australia, which ought to have been grounds for a 14-day quarantine in itself. The live stream of his visa appeal was bedevilled by lengthy dropouts, porn and spamming. For one of the best sportspeople who has ever lived, Novak Djokovic really does have lousy timing.

Novak Djokovic will head to his eighth Wimbledon final on Sunday after defeating Cameron Norrie 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in Friday's semifinal match.

However, the Serbian settled down in the second set and started to find his serve. Norrie raced to an early lead in the first set while breaking Djokovic three times. Novak Djokovic will head to his eighth Wimbledon final on Sunday after defeating Cameron Norrie 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in Friday's lone semifinal match.

In the Wimbledon men's final, it'll be Novak Djokovic, supernatural problem-solver, versus Nick Kyrgios, super-loud creator of problems.

Really, I think it’s an amazing exercise to stay in the moment because being present is, I feel like, something that is the best state that an athlete is looking for because then you’re able to, I guess, exclude or switch off certain things and distractions and really focus only on the next point. That’s the zone that everybody talks about, that is really difficult to reach but very easy to lose.” “I felt like earlier in my career, I didn’t realize that these days off and the practice is so crucial,” he said. And then he arrives after a “shocking sleep” Thursday night — meaning a bad one — and “so much anxiety” and “already feeling so nervous,” even as he can go all the way back to childhood in Canberra and marvel. He will arrive after plotting on how to play Nadal — they were 1-1 here — as, he said Friday, “I really did want to see how that third chapter was going to go,” and, “I’m sure at the end of the day, everyone did want to see us go to war out there.” That’s everyone except, presumably, the tennis balls. “Yeah, I think it’s just hilarious,” he said, “because, like, I don’t think I’m supposed to be someone like me. “Something happens in a match, then all of a sudden it’s completely different and you’re flying. The more you experience these kind of situations, not the better you feel, but just more prepared you feel. “I guess it’s going to be a game of small margins,” Djokovic said. Final arrangements came when Djokovic, in the lone semifinal of Friday, figured out himself and Cameron Norrie as he figures out over and over himself and whoever’s over there. The internal battle is always the greatest. Djokovic won none of the four sets.

“You could see today on the court that he dropped the focus a little bit a few times and that's where I stepped in and really started to control the pace of the match, exchanges from the baseline. “The experience that I have at this level, playing in the finals against someone that has never played a Grand Slam final, could be slightly in my favour. I think when you serve well, it's a big relief in these kinds of circumstances, these kinds of matches. “I don't know how many Grand Slam opportunities to win the trophy I will still have, as I will have in a few days. Every match, every Grand Slam that I get to play at this stage of my career, there is a lot on the line,” Djokovic said in his post-match press conference. “I felt like I was maintaining my focus pretty well.

We take a look at the past meetings between Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic ahead of the 2022 Wimbledon Men's Singles final.

At Wimbledon, Djokovic is currently on a 27-match unbeaten streak, while his overall record at the tournament in 85-10. The 35-year-old boasts a 6-1 record in finals at the All England Club, and a 20-11 record in finals across all four Grand Slams. Can Nick Kyrgios pull off the upset and defeat Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final to claim a first Grand Slam title?

Novak Djokovic beat local favorite Cameron Norrie on Friday and will face Nick Kyrgios in the men's singles final at Wimbledon.

Of course, most of the pressure was on Roger to win because he was expected to win, he was the favorite to win.” I was like, oh, my gosh, we’re kind of getting to the end. But I think when it got to 5-2, I was kind of feeling it. I just try to enjoy the ride.” “When it was really tough for me in Australia, he was one of the very few players that came out publicly and supported me and stood by me. “He dropped the focus a little bit a few times, and that’s where I stepped in and really started to control the pace of the match, exchanges from the baseline,” Djokovic said. “I was telling Neal, on the court I wasn’t really nervous,” Krawczyk said. “It’s something I have to deal with. I was already feeling so nervous, and I don’t feel nervous usually.” He and wife Amy went to Wimbledon for first time. … On grass I would assume it’s even tougher to read his serve and to return.” “It’s tough to read his serve,” Djokovic said.

This marks the former World No. 1's 32nd Grand Slam final, the most in men's tennis history.

But unlike in the quarterfinals, when he dropped the opening two sets against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner before winning in five, it took little time for Djokovic to assert his dominance. It will be the 32nd Grand Slam title match for Djokovic, breaking a tie for the men's record he shared with Roger Federer, and gives the 35-year-old from Serbia a shot at a 21st major title and seventh at Wimbledon. Only Federer, with eight, owns more at the grass-court tournament. Djokovic will face first-time major finalist Nick Kyrgios for the trophy on Sunday. The unseeded Kyrgios, a 27-year-old from Australia, did not need to play on Friday because 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal withdrew from their semifinal with a torn abdominal muscle.

Men’s Doubles Final: No. 14 Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell beat No. 2 Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (10-2).

Djokovic has a significant edge in experience heading into the final, but Kyrgios is playing the best tennis of his life right now.

Kyrgios also happens to be playing the best tennis of his life right now, and is 12-2 since the start of grass-court season. Kyrgios might be a polarizing personality, but there is no denying that he is one of the game’s most exciting players. But Kyrgios isn’t the type of player to let nerves get to him.

Who will win? Will Novak Djokovic win his 22 Slam or will the mercurial Nick Kyrgios break through and surprise tennis?

Kyrgios has the firepower to blow anyone off the court, but he'll need to play probably the perfect match and serve at his absolute best to get it done. But he has started his past two matches slowly, two sets down to Jannik Sinner and a set down to Cameron Norrie, so he'll want to avoid another. His serve has that bit more pop and his returns, always the hallmark of his game, are still as good as ever. But after scraping through his first-round match and coming through several controversial moments, he has played outstanding tennis to reach his first slam final. Kyrgios has won both of their previous meetings, but both were in 2017, a year when Djokovic was struggling with injury and motivation. For Djokovic, it's a record 32nd grand slam final and a chance to close to within one of Rafael Nadal on the all-time winners' list, with his 21st major.

“Everyone knows there was no love lost for a while there,” said the 27-year-old from Australia, whose first Grand Slam title match will be Djokovic's 32nd. “It ...

He is very excited and he doesn’t have much to lose and he is always playing like that. He is playing so freely, one of the biggest serves in the game. “It is going to be his first Grand Slam final. Sunday’s final will be Djokovic’s fifth Grand Slam championship match in a row playing against someone who has never won a major. Every match, every Grand Slam that I get to play at this stage of my career, there is a lot on the line,” Djokovic said after defeating Norrie. “I don't know how many Grand Slam opportunities to win the trophy I will still have, as I will have in a few days. In contrast, Djokovic will be competing in a record 32nd major final as he aims to capture his 21st Grand Slam crown. “One thing for sure, there is going to be a lot of fireworks emotionally from both of us,” Djokovic said. “I had a shocking sleep last night, though, to be honest. “I'm aware of what's on the line. If you see his career, the best tennis he's played is always against the top guys. “I didn’t go about things great earlier in my career and may have missed my window. No doubt he's going to be aggressive.

Top-seeded Novak Djokovic defeated Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3) on Sunday to win his fourth straight Wimbledon championship and seventh overall.

He and the world also learned that he is due in court in Australia to face an assault allegation. The 40th-ranked Kyrgios was trying to become the first unseeded men's champion at Wimbledon since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001. Federer missed the tournament for the first time since the late 1990s because he is still recovering from a series of operations on his right knee. And then, in the third set, with Kyrgios serving at 4-all, 40-love, he again let a seemingly sealed game get away, with Djokovic breaking there. In the second set, with Djokovic serving at 5-3, Kyrgios got to love-40 -- a trio of break points. "Every single time, it gets more and more meaningful and special," the top-seeded Djokovic said.

Djokovic dropped the first set of the men's singles final but rallied to put Kyrgios away by winning three straight sets to capture his 21st Grand Slam ...

He raised his arms, and as he has so many times before, took a taste of the Centre Court grass in celebration. Kyrgios, playing in his first Grand Slam final, was the better player early, outplaying Djokovic in every facet of the game. The victory gave Djokovic his seventh men’s singles title at Wimbledon and his fourth in a row.

Novak Djokovic won his fourth straight Wimbledon men's singles title on Sunday, and his 21st grand slam title overall.

Some noise from the crowd in between a first and second serve cause him to complain the umpire. Kyrgios fought to remain in the set, earning three break points as Djokovic served to level the sets. Despite playing in his first grand slam final, Kyrgios -- who qualified for the final after Nadal pulled out due to injury -- showed absolutely no signs of being overawed. The Australian broke Djokovic's service game and, behind his almost unreturnable serve, clinched the first set to settle his nerves -- if there were any in fact. "It always has been and will be the most special one in my heart. Djokovic was in an early deficit as Kyrgios got off to a fast start.

The top-seeded Djokovic ran his unbeaten run at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament to 28 matches and raised his career haul to 21 major trophies.

He and the world also learned that he is due in court in Australia to face an assault allegation. The 40th-ranked Kyrgios was trying to become the first unseeded men's champion at Wimbledon since Goran Ivanisevic in 2001. There's more: Federer missed the tournament for the first time since the late 1990s because he is still recovering from a series of operations on his right knee. In last year's title match at Wimbledon, Djokovic dropped the opening set. He waited for Nick Kyrgios to lose focus and lose his way. Waited until his own level rose to the occasion.
