Alcaraz mauls Medvedev, sets his sights on dream final

Carlos Alcaraz celebrates after beating Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 at the Wimbledon championships.

For seven games under the roof this felt like it could be a contest as third seed Medvedev, who like Alcaraz was contesting his first Wimbledon semifinal, kept pace with the top seed. Two nonchalant service breaks sealed the second set and the Spaniard accelerated towards victory with another one early in the third set as Medvedev’s shoulders slumped.

The Serbian has not lost on Centre Court for 10 years, but Alcaraz said he is ready for the challenge. Alcaraz lost to Medvedev in the second round on his Wimbledon debut in 2021, when he was then ranked 75th.The way he took apart the Russian, who until Friday topped the list for match wins this year and like Alcaraz won five titles in 2023, had the Centre Court fans in awe.

In the following game Medvedev looked odds-on to win a point at deuce but Alcaraz showed incredible reflexes to spring from nowhere and cut off a volley, raising his fists to the sky.
