Novak Djokovic will face Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday’s men’s singles gold-medal match, which will be a repeat of last month’s Wimbledon final.

Djokovic, holder of a men’s record 24 Grand Slam titles, beat Italian Lorenzo Musetti 6-4 6-2 on Friday to reach the Olympic final for the first time.

The 37-year-old Serb, who lost in straight sets to Alcaraz at the All England Club last month, has won every major singles title except the Olympics.

He was fourth in Tokyo three years ago and took bronze at Beijing in 2008 – his only previous Olympic medal.

Djokovic’s routine win was in stark contrast to his match on the same court against Musetti at the French Open two months ago, which went to five sets and finished at 03:07 local time.

He now faces Spanish second seed Alcaraz, who thrashed Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-1 6-1 in Friday’s other semi-final.

The 21-year-old will contest his third major final two months, having won the French Open at the same venue in Paris in June, before his Wimbledon win.
