Wimbledon 2022: There will be July 'fireworks' when Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios meet in the final

LONDON -- This is it.

Novak Djokovic, the six-time champion, will take on Nick Kyrgios for the Wimbledon title.

For Djokovic, it's a record 32nd grand slam final and a chance to close to within one of Rafael Nadal on the all-time winners' list, with his 21st major. For world No. 40 Kyrgios, it's a first slam final and an opportunity for him to join a long list of Australians to have won the title.

At 35, Djokovic has the experience; at 27, Kyrgios has the firepower and the benefit, in theory, of having had a couple of extra days off after Nadal pulled out before their scheduled semifinal.
