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.
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.
