To be honest, I was quite disappointed with yesterday's semifinals, either because Djokovic and Alcaraz were really ready to face their opponents or because their opponents couldn't play with their highest performance, last year Jannick Sinner was able to take two sets from Djokovic but this time not even for a set though, and Medvedev, who looked like he couldn't get out of the pressure of the third set, was a bit hopeful but still couldn't find his best form.
The final between Djokovic vs Alcaraz was as predicted, Djokovic remains the favorite considering he is quite superior in this tournament and rarely sees odds on Djokovic above 1.30 this time he gets 1.54 with Alcaraz 2.55, if many think Djokovic often loses the initial set and after that playing at the highest level of his game but I'm pretty sure he's not going to do that this time and from Djokovics match with all the young players it's surprising the age difference is over 13 years but his fitness doesn't show he's older.

I still think it will be 4 sets; Djokovic will loose the first set and than go on and win the next 3 sets. I am surprised that the odd for Djokovic is around 1.5; this is the first time that Alcaraz gets so far as grass is not his favorite underground so Djokovic is the clear favorite here to win Wimbledon again.

The young versus the experienced gonna play the finals. Djokovic being the favourite for the Wimbledon finals is an expected one. Losing the first set and winning the match is kind of style that Djokovic follows. At times this can fire back, because against a player like Alcaraz is different from playing against unseeded players. Even a small mistake could make Alcaraz make the lead. Lets see what's gonna happen as the top seeded ones compete for the title.
This is the first time in history something unexpected have taken place and that is really appreciable. In Women's tournament an unseeded player have reached the finals and won the title, Vondrousova have won against Jabeur 6-4 6-4

The final between Alcaraz and Djokovic is going to be a really good one. This is also going to be fairly close and competitive between both of them. I know that it is a match between young and experienced.
All the young one, Alcaraz, does have youth on his side which will probably give him more speed and stamina I think Djokovic being the experienced one will be able to come back even if he is behind at the start of the match. I agree that the style of Novak Djokovic is losing the first set and then making a comeback. Probably he is more concerned about reserving his energy.

Age won't seem to matter between these two as it was on display during their two previous meetings.
There is a 16 year difference but when it comes to tennis, it won't matter since experience is the determining factor as the player can recuperate after every set and come out stronger after gathering their senses to power through to the next set.
Remember Carlos cramped up during the Spain tournament and lost to Sinner of course that was on hard court then he had to withdraw from the French Open earlier this season from the very same symptoms.

For myself, I will go with the tested and true game play of Novak Djokovic to win this Wimbledon in a set of five since Alcaraz will probably suffer the same fate as he did before if it does go the distance.
And many are imagining this matchup of the world's #1 and #2 will end up being. As this tournament's final will determine who will be #1 of the world.
