![History on the line: Djokovic is all fired up](https://cdn.magzter.com/1617717947/1720904391/articles/y9IlnDaQd1720915068117/HISTORY-ON-THE-LINE-DJOKOVIC-IS-ALL-FIRED-UP.jpg)
Just five weeks after undergoing surgery on his right knee, 37-year-old Djokovic can become the oldest Wimbledon champion of the modern era and avenge his heartbreaking five-set loss to the Spaniard in the 2023 final.
"I'm aware of what's on the line.
Any Grand Slam that I play, there's always history now on the line," said Djokovic.
"I will try to use that as a fuel to play my best tennis."
Djokovic will be playing in his 10th Wimbledon final and 37th at the 75 Majors in which he has played.
A 25th Grand Slam title would be an all-time record for men and women, snapping the mark of 24 he shares with Margaret Court.
"It serves as a great motivation, but at the same time it's also a lot of pressure and expectations," added the Serb.
