WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios will play each other in the Wimbledon men’s final. Sunday’s match at the All England Club will be Djokovic’s men’s-record 32nd Grand Slam final and the first for Kyrgios. The top-seeded Djokovic carries a 27-match unbeaten streak at the grass-court tournament. He seeks his fourth championship in a row there and seventh overall. He is also trying to claim his 21st Grand Slam trophy. That would move him one behind Rafael Nadal. Kyrgios had never been past the quarterfinals at a major tournament. He is a 27-year-old from Australia who is unseeded and ranked 40th.
