The man standing in the way of Musetti fulfilling his long-standing promise, however, is no romantic. Regarded almost as a pantomime villain by some, the 37-year-old Serb has absolutely no intention of surrendering his proud record at Wimbledon (victory would guarantee him a sixth straight final) and a potential record-breaking 25th major win.
But something has to give. Djokovic, predictably enough, leads the head-to-head 5-1 (and won their most recent match at this year's French Open in five sets) and has more than just the edge in terms of experience when it comes to high pressure tennis. He also qualified for the last four without breaking a sweat as his quarter-final opponent Alex de Minaur had to withdraw through injury.
There is also the question for some over Musetti's mental strength. This began to be talked about when he was just 19 and retired in a game against Djokovic at Roland Garros. He had raced into a two set lead before his legendary opponent began to reel him in and then the young Italian quit while 4-0 down in the fifth set, citing "A little bit of cramps." Eyebrows were raised.
So is the result a formality? Not necessarily. Djokovic is the obvious favourite but might have fitness concerns while Musetti has displayed real tenacity on the way to the semi-final, overcoming American Taylor Fritz 3-6, 7-6, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 in the last round. Perhaps this is his moment to bury the memory of three years ago.
Either way, you don’t want to miss this men's singles semi-final so read on for where to watch a Musetti vs Djokovic live live stream and catch Wimbledon 2024 from anywhere.
