It will be the replay of last year's final, when the Spaniard celebrated his first title in the All-England Club
Novak Djokovic brushed aside Italian Lorenzo Musetti to reach his 10th Wimbledon final and set up a showdown with reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz in a rematch of last year's final.
The 37-year-old veteran is on the verge of a record-equalling eighth men's singles title at Wimbledon.
Some fans, however, started booing Djokovic, who produced the same celebration following his win over Holger Rune in the last 16.

Alcaraz beat Djokovic in last year's showpiece, winning 2-3 (1-6, 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4) in a five-set epic, which lasted four hours 42 minutes and is regarded one of the best matches in the tournament's history.
The 21-year-old Spaniard clinched a comeback 3-1 (6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4) victory over Daniil Medvedev to reach Sunday's final.
Alcaraz could become just the ninth man in the Open era to retain the Wimbledon title - after Djokovic, Rod Laver, John Newcombe, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras and Roger Federer.
