Novak Djokovic outclassed Italian underdog Lorenzo Musetti to reach the Wimbledon final and set up a showdown with reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz in a repeat of last year's final.

The 37-year-old impressed as he stayed on course for a record-equalling eighth men's singles title at Wimbledon with a 6-4 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 victory on Centre Court.

Musetti, 22, had one chance to get the break back in the final set but sent a forehand into the net and crouched down with his head in his hands, knowing the end was near.

Djokovic made sure his opponent did not get another opportunity.

Under pressure, Musetti sent a shot long before Djokovic walked to the net, knowing he had reached his 37th Grand Slam final and 10th at Wimbledon.

The Serb then moved his racquet over his shoulder and imitated playing a violin, in a gesture aimed at his six-year-old daughter Tara, with television cameras showing her grinning along.

Some fans, however, started booing, thinking Djokovic, who produced the same celebration following his win over Holger Rune in the last 16, was being disrespectful.

Alcaraz beat Djokovic in last year's showpiece, winning 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 6-4 in a five-set epic, which lasted four hours 42 minutes and is regarded one of the best matches in the tournament's history.

The pair meet again on Sunday in what could be another amazing chapter in Wimbledon folklore.

Did anyone expect that?

Carlos Alcaraz's victory over Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final may not have been a huge surprise, but the way it played out certainly was.

In the build-up, there was talk of a repeat of last year's final - an almighty tussle that went the full five sets. And when the first game of the match lasted 14 minutes, with Djokovic eventually surrendering his serve, many felt it would be more of the same.

But Alcaraz flipped the script, racing through the first two sets, taking advantage of an off-colour Djokovic and never allowing the 24-time major champion to raise his level as he won

"It was an annihilation. Alcaraz was phenomenal," former British number one Tim Henman said on BBC TV.

"The tone was set in the first game. Alcaraz was relentless and gave Djokovic nothing to get his teeth stuck into.

"Alcaraz always had the answers. The first set wasn't even close. When he needed it most in the tie-break, it was like Djokovic blinked."

Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash said it was "a perfect performance", describing it as a "breathtaking type of tennis on the biggest stage there is".

At 21, Alcaraz is a four-time major champion, and has won the French Open and Wimbledon in the space of five weeks.

"Alcaraz will carry our sport a long way," said Nick Kyrgios - runner-up at Wimbledon in 2022.

"The biggest enemy he'll have is his body. How healthy can he stay?

"I think he'll have upwards of 15 Slams, for sure."
