And Djokovic made light of the age difference, laughing: 'I feel 36 is the new 26. I'd like to believe I am playing my best tennis and I have a lot of motivation. 'I'm going to be coming into Sunday's final like it's my first, to be honest. It's great to be part of this new generation - I love it!'

World number one Carlos Alcaraz breezed past Daniil Medvedev in straight sets at Wimbledon on Friday to set up a mouth-watering final against Novak Djokovic on Sunday
Carlos Alcaraz has thrown down the gauntlet ahead of a dream Wimbledon final by telling Novak Djokovic: You don’t scare me.
Djokovic, the seven-time Wimbledon champion, is unbeaten on Centre Court since losing the 2013 final to Andy Murray. But 20-year-old Alcaraz, the world number one, declared: “I am ready for this. It is no time to be afraid. I will believe that I can beat him here. I dreamed of playing a final here. It is no time to be tired. It is going to be a really tough challenge for me. I am going to go for it.”
With a 16-year age gap and 36-year-old Djokovic looking to win his 24th Grand Slam title, this is the mouth-watering final Wimbledon hoped for: the number one seed against the number two seed.
Djokovic, who beat Alcaraz in this year’s French Open semi-finals when the young Spaniard was struck by a serious cramp, said: “He (Alcaraz) can do pretty much anything on the court and I consider myself to also be a very complete player. He’s very motivated. He’s young. He’s hungry. I’m hungry, too, so let’s have a feast.”
