Serbia’s Novak Djokovic shakes hands with Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz during a practise session prior to their men’s singles semi-finals tennis matches on the twelfth day of the 2023 Wimbledon Championships at The All England Lawn Tennis Club in Wimbledon, southwest London, on July 14, 2023.
On Sunday, the 36-year-old world number two will attempt to equal Roger Federer's mark of eight Wimbledon titles and Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 majors. “Everyone knows the legend he is. I will fight. I will believe in myself. There’s no time to be afraid, no time to be tired.” Alcaraz only won seven games when he suffered a straight sets loss to Medvedev at Wimbledon just two years ago.On Friday, serve dominated the opener until Alcaraz converted a break point for a 5-3 lead which he backed-up with a love service game.
The Spaniard, however, steadied himself, moving into his first Wimbledon final with a spectacular running forehand, his 27th winner of the match. The 36-year-old had declared himself favourite for the title on the eve of the semi-final and he backed up that confidence with another break of the Italian for a 2-1 lead in the second set.Firstly, he was docked a point for hindrance following a loud grunt which accompanied a down the line backhand.“The hindrance early on in the match could have changed the course of the match.
