The reigning champion of the Wimbledon tennis tournament, Carlos Alcaraz, quickly recovered from his initial excitement in Friday’s semi-final match against Daniil Medvedev.
Daniil Medvedev won the first set of the match 7-6 (7-1) via tiebreaker. After that, the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz scored three set wins with 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.
After a strong semi-final performance, Alcaraz had to worry about whether he will face the Serbian in the Wimbledon final Novak Djokovic or Italian by Lorenzo Musetti. In last year’s final, Alcaraz defeated Djokovic in five sets.
– Let’s see who I get on Sunday. It will definitely be a difficult match, Alcaraz reflected after his semi-final win.
In any case, Alcaraz, 21, thought he would now benefit from his experiences last year.
– I don’t feel like a newcomer anymore. I know how I feel before the final match, having been in this situation before.
Alcaraz’s self-confidence is boosted by other previous experiences in the finals of grand slam tournaments, as he only has wins in the finals. He won Norway two years ago Casper Ruudin The US Open, Djokovic’s Wimbledon last year and Germany in May Alexander Zverev French Open.
Alcaraz has achieved all of his grand slam victories in five-set matches, fighting hard. He has also proven his tenacity in the Wimbledon matches, as in the semifinals against Medvedev, he won for the third time after losing the first set of the match.
In the second semi-final of the men’s singles, Djokovic is aiming for the tenth Wimbledon final match of his career. With a win in the final match, he would rise Roger Federer’s alongside Wimbledon’s eight-time winner.
