The world tennis round reaches today (Sunday) one of the highlights of the year, with Novak Djokovic and Nick Kirius on the grass in London for the final of the Wimbledon tournament.
After Kazakh Elena Rybakina made history yesterday, and stunned everyone when she won the women's tournament, today it will be the turn of Australian Nick Kirius from 40th place to try and surprise.
The colorful tennis player known for his hot temper and bizarre incidents on the court, shows in this tournament a wonderful ability and seems to be able to surprise today.
This will be his first appearance in the Grand Slam final, and he will want to bring his men's first title to his country at a tournament in London since 2022 - when he won the Layton Hewitt tournament.
The Australian impressed in the tournament with victories over Tsitsipas, Nakshima and Garin, and actually technically advanced to the final after Chandall - who was supposed to meet him in the semi-final had to retire due to injury from the tournament.
On the other hand, Novak Djokovic wants to once again win a big Grand Slam tournament, and retain the title he won last year after defeating Matteo Bartini in the final.
The Serb can win his 21st Grand Slam title and come close to leading Nadal with 22. He comes after a 4-set victory over British Cameron Nuri in the semi-finals, and after a big comeback against Yannick Sinner in the quarter-finals.
