Djokovic set up a repeat of the tournament's showpiece a year ago, reaching his 10th final at the All England Club after emerging a 6-4 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 victor against the Italian.

The encounter started with incredible intensity, with both players trading blows in an attempt to gain the early advantage.

However, Djokovic would get the decisive break point in the sixth game, only for Musetti to break back soon after, but the Serbian was able to hold and take the first set.

The seven-time Wimbledon champion was made to work for his two-set advantage, with his Italian opponent holding on to hopes of completing an unlikely win.

Musetti produced arguably the shot of the afternoon, striking a stunning backhand to end a 15-shot rally, which brought applause from Djokovic.

But it proved to be in vain as Djokovic showcased his class in the tie-break, edging closer to a 97th match win at Wimbledon.

The Serbian's victory was confirmed after two hours and 48 minutes' worth of action, although he could have completed the job a lot sooner having squandered three match points in the final set.

Musetti had the chance to break back to keep the game alive, but sent his forehand into the top of the net, with Djokovic making no mistake at the fourth time of asking.

The world No.2 will be hopeful of rectifying his defeat to Alcaraz 12 months ago, with another exciting match in store after the five-set thriller that saw the Spaniard claim his maiden Wimbledon crown.
