Novak Djokovic is the favorite to book his place in yet another Wimbledon final as he faces Lorenzo Musetti in the last four this afternoon. The seven-time champion’s participation in this tournament was in doubt after knee surgery following the French Open, but he is now firmly in the hunt for more SW19 glory.

He comes into this match fresh, after Alex De Minaur withdrew ahead of their scheduled quarter-final due to injury. Musetti, meanwhile, is in his first Grand Slam semi-final after battling past Taylor Fritz to keep his Wimbledon run going.

The winner of this match will face Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday’s final, with a repeat of last year’s epic showdown between the Spaniard and Djokovic very much on the cards. Alcaraz dropped the opening set earlier today but came back to beat Daniil Medvedev in the first semi-final. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below!
