Top seed Carlos Alcaraz has secured an exciting semi-final match against Daniil Medvedev at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships. Alcaraz and Medvedev will now clash on at the Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) in London on Friday, July 14.
Alcaraz, the Spanish sensation, and Medvedev, the Russian tennis superstar, have faced each other twice, with a head-to-head record of 1-1. Their most recent encounter took place in the final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells this season, where Alcaraz came out on top, winning the match with a score of 6-3 and 6-2. However, the Wimbledon semifinal will be a different ballgame altogether. Here's how to watch the Wimbledon men's semifinal match between Alcaraz and Medvedev online.
Clash of the Titans
In the quarterfinal match on Wednesday, Alcaraz, the current World No. 1 dominated his 20-year-old opponent, Holger Rune, by winning in straight sets. The highly anticipated quarterfinal, which marked the first time in the Open Era of Wimbledon that two players under the age of 21 faced off, lived up to expectations, particularly in the exciting initial exchanges of the match.
Alcaraz won the first set in a tiebreak, and his strong performance in the second set, without any unforced errors, gave him a two-set lead. He secured a crucial break in the fifth game of the third set, ultimately winning the match and reaching his first Wimbledon semifinal with his 45th victory of the season.
In contrast, Medvedev faced a tougher challenge against Christopher Eubanks, a first-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist. Medvedev took the early lead, but Eubanks fought back to win the next two sets, only dropping five games.
However, Medvedev managed to win the fourth set tiebreak and then dominated the fifth set to secure victory in just under three hours. He showcased his powerful serving with 28 aces and a strong performance in sets four and five, winning 89% of first-serve points.
Medvedev hit 52 winners and made only 13 unforced errors, allowing him to advance to his first Wimbledon semifinal.
Alcaraz and Medvedev have faced each other twice before, with one win each for both players. Alcaraz emerged victorious in their most recent encounter, which took place in the final of the Indian Wells tournament earlier this year.
On the other hand, Medvedev claimed victory in their sole meeting on grass courts, which occurred two years ago during the second round of Wimbledon, with Medvedev winning in straight sets.
