Novak Djokovic's prospects of competing at Wimbledon seemed slim considering he had knee surgery on June 5.
On Friday, the Serbian defeated Lorenzo Musetti to reach his sixth straight Wimbledon final.
The No. 2 seed is seeking to win a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title and eighth at Wimbledon, a mark that would tie him with Roger Federer's men's singles record.
It's only fitting that he gets another showdown with Carlos Alcaraz.
Djokovic will look to avenge his five-set loss to Alcaraz, who ended his run of four straight Wimbledon titles last year.
Here's the information on how and when you can watch the highly anticipated rematch that seemed unattainable just weeks ago.
Date: Sunday, July 14
Start Time: 9:00 a.m. ET
TV: ESPN
Live Stream: ESPN+, ESPN.com
This will be the sixth time Djokovic and Alcaraz have faced each other.
Alcaraz won this exact match a year ago; however, since then, Djokovic has won two straight.
Djokovic is 7-2 in Wimbledon final matchups, while the Spaniard is a perfect 3-0 in Grand Slam finals.
Alcaraz enters as the slight favorite (-135 at DraftKings), though he has dropped the opening set in three of his last four matches.
In his most recent match, Alcaraz dropped the first set to Daniil Medvedev before playing his best three sets of the entire tournament.
Djokovic will likely aim to establish pace early, but if Alcaraz can begin the way he ended his match against Medvedev, the two should be in for another lengthy battle.
Alcaraz will need to play near-perfect to defeat the Serbian, who is looking to firmly solidify himself as the greatest player in the history of the sport.
