Your complete guide to watching Carlos Alcaraz v Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon 2023 final, including date and time.
The people’s final has been arranged. The master faces the pretender, the king is pitted against the prince, it’s Novak Djokovic versus Carlos Alcaraz – and the nation is ready for it.
Reigning champion Djokovic is in the hunt for his eighth Wimbledon title, a milestone that would see him draw level with Roger Federer for the most men’s singles titles at SW19.
He dispatched Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals to reach the showpiece match once again, and the blockbuster clash is exactly the one we all hoped to see.
This is World No.1 Alcaraz’s third crack at Wimbledon and only his fourth tournament on grass. He won at Queen’s leading up to this tournament and appears to be refusing to leave British soil without the grand prize.
Alcaraz’s first Wimbledon experience was ended by Daniil Medvedev in the second round of the 2021 tournament, but he ditched the Russian in straight sets in the semi-finals this time around.
Fans across the nation will be cancelling all plans this weekend to savour the big one on Centre Court. And if you’re still not sold, the winner of this one claims the World No.1 spot.
RadioTimes.com rounds up how to watch Carlos Alcaraz v Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final, as well as the latest information for when the match will take place and the players’ head-to-head record.

Carlos Alcaraz v Novak Djokovic head-to-head record
Alcaraz wins – 1 / Djokovic wins – 1
The pair have faced each other twice in history with honours even after those two matches, though one victory came with greater weight than the other.
Alcaraz drew first blood with an eye-catching 6-7 7-5 7-6 victory over Djokovic in the Madrid Open 2022 semi-finals, an ATP 1000 event on clay that Alcaraz went on to win.
However, Djokovic struck back with a huge win, also on clay, in the semi-finals of the French Open this year. He triumphed 6-3 5-7 6-1 6-1 to advance to the final and go onto win the title at Roland-Garros.
The victory restored Djokovic as the World No.1 for a short period before Alcaraz clambered back on top just in time for Wimbledon.
