Novak Djokovic reached his ninth Wimbledon final in 2023, defeating Jannik Sinner in the last four to extend his record to 35 career grand slam finals.
The Serbian is the greatest male player in history when it comes to major singles titles and, even though he is now 37, he shows few signs of slowing down or even coming close to retirement.
Having already won the Australian Open and French Open in 2023, Djokovic was unable to add Wimbledon to his tally, being defeated by Carlos Alcaraz in the final.
Although not the tournament he has won the most often, Wimbledon has held a special place in his heart, and few have enjoyed success at SW19 quite like the man from Belgrade.

Who has won all four grand slams in the same year?
The term 'Grand Slam' actually relates to the achievement of winning all four tournaments in the same year.
Winning one title is hard enough, but winning all four straight is extremely difficult.
American Don Budge was the first to achieve a Grand Slam in 1938, with Australian Rod Laver the only other men's singles player to repeat the feat.
Maureen Connolly was the first woman to pull it off in women's singles when she did so in 1953. Margaret Court and Steffi Graf are the only other players to have done the same since.
Dylan Alcott was the last player to complete a Grand Slam in 2021 when he did so in the wheelchair quad singles.
Djokovic has been the champion of all four majors at the same time, as has Serena Williams, but neither has managed to win each of them in the same year.
