London: Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz entered the final of the Wimbledon Tennis Grand Slam by defeating Daniil Medvedev 6-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in the semi-finals. Spain’s Alcaraz is trying to win his fourth Grand Slam title in 21 years. His performance was average in the opening set, after which he made a comeback and played aggressively and won the match.
Alcaraz, the first teenager to become the number one player in the ATP rankings, is the youngest player to win Grand Slam trophies on all three types of courts – grass, clay and hard. Now, the Spaniard is just one win away from joining Boris Becker and Bjorn Borg as the only players in the Open era (beginning in 1968) to win multiple championships at the All England Club before turning 22.

Alcaraz dominated the entire match
Alcaraz made it 5-4 with a drop shot. This shot was ruled valid by chair umpire Eva Asderaki. After this Medvedev was seen abusing.

Alcaraz then moved in the right direction and played aggressively. He took advantage of Medvedev’s mistakes and won the next three sets with his skill to make it to the final.
