Victory for the 27-year-old would make hime the first male Grand Slam champion from Australia since Lleyton Hewitt lifted the Wimbledon title in 2002.

"I just never thought that I would be [at this stage] at a Grand Slam. I thought that ship had sailed. I didn’t go about things great earlier in my career and may have missed my window. I am really proud of the way I have come back out here.”

“I had a shocking sleep last night, though, to be honest. I probably got an hour's sleep just with everything, like the excitement. I had so much anxiety, I was already feeling so nervous, and I don't feel nervous usually. I just know there's a lot of people that want me to do well and give my best. But I had a shocking sleep last night. Hopefully I can get some sleep tonight.”

“He plays lights-out every time he steps out onto the court. Just [has] a lot of power in his serve and his game. So I'm sure he's going to go for it. No doubt he's going to be aggressive. I expect him to do that.

“He's a big-match player. If you see his career, the best tennis he's played is always against the top guys. That's why we all respect him, because we know what he can come up with. It's going to be [an] interesting match.”

"I've never won a set off him. Hopefully it can be different this time. It's another final for me at Wimbledon so hopefully the experience can work in my favour."

Djokovic lost both their ATP meetings. Kyrgios beat the Serb 7–6(11–9), 7–5 in Acapulco quarterfinals and a fortnight later emulated the same with 6–4, 7–6(7–3) win in Indian Wells Round of 16 tie

He has a 21-7 record in Wimbledon where he made his debut in 2014. His win-loss record in Wimbledon is his best at any Grand Slam event. 

He has reached nine other ATP finals in his career and won six titles. His last win came against Daniil Medvedev in Washington Open in 2019. His only other significant appearance in an ATP final was in Cincinnati Masters in 2017 where he had lost to Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets

His previous best appearance in a major was in 2014 Wimbledon and 2-15 Australian Open, both where he reached the quarterfinals.

He has a 6-1 win-loss record in finals at the All England Club. His only defeat came in 2014, against Andy Murray, in straight sets. Only once in his seven previous finals did he face a player who was making his maiden appearance in a major final - against Matteo Berrettini last year. Djokovic had recovered from a set down to beat the Italian. 

Both Djokovic and Federer have a 20-11 record in major finals and the two stand behind Nadal's win-loss record of 22-8.

After beating ninth seeded Cameron Norrie in the semi-final, Djokovic reached his eighth Wimbledon final and 32nd in his Grand Slam. He surpassed Roger Federer to script an Open Era record for most appearances in a major final. Rafael Nadal stands third with 30 such appearances.
