At 37 years old, the Serbian is aiming for his eighth title at Wimbledon (in ten finals), with which he would equal the record of the Swiss Roger Federer. For Djokovic it would be the 25th Grand Slam title, with which he would set an absolute record.

Djokovic, in his sixth consecutive final at the All England Club, will play for the first time for a trophy this year, one with enough physical and form problems for him.
