Djokovic sets up final with Kyrgios at Wimbledon

Saturday, 9 July 2022 11:57

Top seed Novak Djokovic is on course for a seventh consecutive title after beating Great Britain’s Cameron Norrie 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.

The Serbian moves within one win of earning his fourth consecutive Wimbledon title, after breaching the defences of Norrie with his aggressive and precise groundstrokes to advance to his eighth final at the Championships in two hours and 34 minutes.

26-year-old Norrie led the home challenge at the All England Club over the last fortnight but his bid to become the first British finalist since Andy Murray won his second Wimbledon title in 2016 ended in a defeat to Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic, going for a fourth consecutive title and a seventh overall, will face Australia's Nick Kyrgios in Sunday's final.
