After recovering from a slow start to defeat Tommy Paul, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will meet a familiar foe in the semi-finals when he plays Daniil Medvedev. It was exactly one year ago that the Spaniard secured a comfortable straight-set victory over the Russian to reach his maiden Wimbledon final. The three-time Grand Slam champion has looked vulnerable at times during his run to the last four but has raised his game when needed and will be confident of reaching another major final.
However, Medvedev presents a real threat and appears to finally be getting to grips with the slick grass courts. Having traditionally struggled at SW19, he has reached the semi-finals for the second straight year, achieving it in style by overcoming world number one Jannik Sinner in the last eight. The 28-year-old has lost his last two meetings with Alcaraz, but does possess a victory over the Spaniard at a Slam after beating him in the semi-final at last year’s US Open.
