Following his victory in the 2022 US Open, Carlos Alcaraz achieved his second major title by triumphing over the legendary Novak Djokovic in the 2023 Wimbledon finals.

Djokovic then secured a win against Alcaraz in the French Open semifinals earlier this year. However, their most recent face-off resulted in a memorable five-set Wimbledon victory for Alcaraz in July.

As they prepare to meet for the fourth time in the Cincinnati Open finals on Sunday, anticipation and excitement run high.
