Djokovic looms large as Alcaraz bids to reach Wimbledon final

Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic hug at the end of their 2022 ATP Tour Madrid Open tennis tournament men’s singles semi-final match at the Caja Magica in Madrid on May 7, 2022. AFPPIX: Carlos Alcaraz takes on Daniil Medvedev on Friday for a place in the Wimbledon final, where history-chasing Novak Djokovic will likely be lying in wait.

Whatever he said to himself certainly worked -- he broke early and never looked back, losing just seven games over the last three sets as he romped to victory. “Judging with the results I had in my career here, previous four occasions of Wimbledon that I won, and reaching another semi-final, I consider myself favourite,“ said the 36-year-old.

“I’m going to stick with my game plan in my mind, and hopefully I can execute it in the best possible way.”2021 Monte Carlo R32 Djokovic 6-4, 6-2Carlos Alcaraz has looked increasingly impressive at Wimbledon -- powering past his friend Holger Rune in the last eight. The 20-year-old Alcaraz, who won the US Open in 2022 and beat Medvedev convincingly in the Indian Wells final earlier this year, is talking a good game.
