However, what is more exciting are two opponents he may end up facing in the latter stages of the tournament. One could be against a member of the Big Four, Andy Murray. Djokovic can also find himself in a Wimbledon final replay with Carlos Alcaraz, a tie he lost. Overcoming the demons of the one Grand Slam final he lost in 2023.
