In a Grand Slam of glamour and greatness, the Wimbledon Championships has reached its regal finale! The showdown between the titans of tennis, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic has yet to begin, but the grandeur of the event is already reaching its peak! Who will wear the crown at the event remains to be seen, but the coronation of the champion is sure to add a majestic touch to it. After all, the All England Club will witness the special presence of the Royalty, who will hand the coveted trophy to the winner!

“We’re hopeful that the Princess of Wales will be able to present the trophies as the Club’s patron, but her health and recovery (from cancer) is the priority,” said Debbie Jevans, the chairperson of the All England Club, earlier. But the wait is over and it ends with good news. The Wimbledon Championships have gotten the royal seal of approval as the Duchess of Wales, Kate Middleton, will grace the event with her presence. Much like last year, her role in the tournament is not only to watch the two rivals mark a conclusion to the highly anticipated match but also to be something more. 

In 2023, Middleton bestowed the honor of the Grand Slam on Alcaraz as he defeated Novak Djokovic in a thrilling five-setter match. And this time, as the two clash on-court for the sixth time, the Duchess will observe closely and later confer the ultimate symbol of excellence to the one who deserves.

The Princess of Wales, a patron of the All England Club, has not been seen in the public eye for over a month. Nevertheless, as a patron of the Club for eight years, she will not miss the chance to present the trophy to the winner, as she has done since 2016. After all, we all know that Kate, who is an amateur player herself, has always loved the racquet sport.

Although she was absent in the women’s final match, and could not present the trophy to Barbora Krejcikova, Catherine is now ready to make a much-awaited comeback to Wimbledon once again. This has added an extra layer of prestige to the already esteemed tournament. And both Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are ready to take on a huge battle with each other, as they themselves previously admitted.

Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz talk about their ultimate Sunday plans at Wimbledon

Novak Djokovic is no stranger to the formidable challenge posed by his 21-year-old opponent. After all, the Spaniard halted his Grand Slam rampage last year, making him forego a Calendar year. Speaking on the upcoming challenge, the 24 Grand Slam champion said, “I don’t expect anything less than that. Honestly a huge battle on the court. He’s as complete a player as they come. It’s going to take the best of my abilities on the court overall to beat him on Sunday.”

On the other hand, Carlos Alcaraz, who has already won his first Grand Slam of this season in the French Open, is seeking another perfect finale at Wimbledon. “Being a Spaniard, yeah, it would be a perfect Sunday if we win…” Will Alcaraz repeat his triumph or will it be Novak Djokovic who reclaims his throne? Either way, the splendor of the finale is indeed going to be a “royal” one!
