It all comes down to this — the 2024 Wimbledon men’s singles final is upon us, and as was the case last year at the All England Club, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will face off once again after their watershed decider in 2023 saw the then-20-year-old Spaniard lift his first Wimbledon title.
Making his way to successive Wimbledon finals, Alcaraz has defeated four seeded players on his way to this year’s title match, including a fantastic four-set comeback win over Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals. Medvedev had knocked out world number one Jannik Sinner in the last eight and took the first set, but Alcaraz hit back in style to win three sets on the bounce, advancing to the decider with a 6-7 (1-7) 6-3 6-4 6-4 victory.
Djokovic, on the other hand, has had a more routine route to the final, as he looks to avenge last year’s loss to Alcaraz. He has defeated 15th seed Holger Rune before a walkover win in the quarterfinals following an injury to Alex De Minaur. Facing 25th seed Lorenzo Musetti in the last four, Djokovic overcame a strong challenge, particularly in the second set, to win 6-4 7-6 (7-2) 6-4.
Last year’s decider between these two was groundbreaking on a number of levels, as the scores went back and forth to eventually deal Djokovic only his second Wimbledon final defeat; Alcaraz winning his second grand slam title and first at the All England club.
Won 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 6-4 by Alcaraz after four hours and 42 minutes — the third-longest Wimbledon final in history — that decider for the ages sets up another must-see event from Centre Court in 2024, with Djokovic on the brink of equalling Roger Federer’s record of eight men’s singles titles.

Wimbledon 2024 prize money
Already the most well-known, prestigious and lucrative event in tennis, there was a huge 11.86 percent increase in prize money from Wimbledon 2023 ahead of this year’s event. That total pot now stands at a whopping £50 million (U.S. $63.4 million), which like many of the biggest tournaments on both the WTA and ATP Tour, is split equally for male and female competitors.
The winner of the Men’s singles final will pocket a huge £2.7 million ($3.4 million) of that sum, just under double the amount awarded to the losing finalist on July 14. The doubles teams are also compensated with £650,000 ($824,000) to split between the winning pair.
That 11.86 percent jump in the overall prize pot also means competitors lower down the pecking order receive huge sums for their progress, with ATP and WTA players all in line to earn £60,000 alone even if they fail to make it past the first round.
