'History on the line' for Djokovic in Alcaraz final

Alcaraz recovered from a nervy start in last year's championship match to beat Djokovic 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 6-4.

The 21-year-old, now a three-time major champion, could become the youngest back-to-back men's singles winner at Wimbledon since Boris Becker in 1986.

This is only Alcaraz's fourth appearance at the Championships.

However, the Spaniard - a crowd favourite wherever he plays - says he is "not thinking about taking the crown" off Djokovic as the next tennis superstar.

Alcaraz is unbeaten in Grand Slam finals, a feat he admitted he "thinks about" but believes will "be difficult" to keep up.

Five weeks ago he lifted his first French Open title and should he win on Sunday, he would be the youngest man to win at Wimbledon and Roland Garros in the same year.

"Sometimes I feel like I'm 26 or 27 and then I realise that I'm just 21 and everything is coming too fast and too quick," Alcaraz told BBC Sport.

"It could be better if I had to wait a little bit, but I've put in the hard work every day and I am glad people get to see me achieve my dreams."
