Medvedev easily wins the tie-break and pockets the first set against Alcaraz… Follow the semi-final

Will he manage to keep a chance of retaining his title? Having defeated Serbian Novak Djokovic in his own backyard last year in the final, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz is up against Russian Daniil Medvedev (world number 5) in the semi-finals of Wimbledon on Friday 12 July. Solid in the important points in the quarter-finals against American Tommy Paul, the three-time Grand Slam winner won in four sets (5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2) and will approach this semi-final as the favourite.

Facing him, a stunning Daniil Medvedev. Facing world number 1 Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals, the Russian, who was not the favourite, finally won in five sets and just four hours of play. Beaten hard by Carlos Alcaraz (6-3, 6-3, 6-3) last year in the semi-finals, the Russian will try to invite himself to the final for the first time in London.
