Defending champion Novak Djokovic and three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka are set to square off in a blockbuster third-round showdown at the 2023 Wimbledon on Friday.
Djokovic has been rather solid in his two matches here so far, defeating Pedro Cachin and Jordan Thompson in straight sets. Wawrinka, meanwhile, ousted Emil Ruusuvuori quite comfortably, but needed four sets to get past 29th seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry.
Djokovic and Wawrinka have played out plenty of entertaining matches over the years. Despite their rivalry dating back to 2006, this will be their very first encounter at Wimbledon. The Serb owns a lopsided 20-6 winning record against his fellow Grand Slam champion.
However, four of Wawrinka's six victories against Djokovic have come at Majors. The Swiss has often raised his level when it mattered and could do so yet again to thwart his rival's attempt at creating history.
Djokovic has a lot on the line during this tournament. He's still on course to complete the Calender Year Grand Slam, while chasing a 24th Major crown and an eighth title at Wimbledon. With plenty of records to equal, the Serb will be on guard against an opponent who has bothered him in the past.
With two of the sport's biggest names battling it out yet again, fans will be anticipating another epic clash. Here are all the details regarding their upcoming encounter:
