2023-07-14 02:47:01

Carlos Alcaraz will play in the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time, after starring in a tournament in which he has been growing, to sign brilliant performances against the most difficult rivals: Berrettini in the round of 16 and Rune in the quarterfinals. The stakes continue to rise in the penultimate round, in which he will face an opponent to watch out for in what will be his third Grand Slam semifinal.

Hours and where to see the Alcaraz – Medvedev

Daniil Medvedev had a small pending account with Wimbledon, the “Great” that historically had been the worst (it had not passed the eighth). In this 2023 he has entered the penultimate round. The match against Alcaraz will be today, Friday, July 14, in the second shift, therefore around 5:00 p.m. Before, the other semifinal is played, which faces the great favorite, Novak Djokovic, from 2:30 p.m., against another of the youngsters who has been pressing hard, Jannik Sinner. When I finish, Carlos will start. Both matches can be seen on television through Movistar+, and the minute by minute of the Spanish can be followed through the website of “La Razón” (www.larazon.es)

The face to face between Djokovic and Sinner reflects a 2-0 in favor of the Serb, but in 2022, right in the center of Wimbledon, the Italian gave him a scare by taking the first two sets, to later suffer the comeback (5- 7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 and 6-2). “For sure I have improved physically. I am much stronger. I can spend many hours on the court without suffering. Also mentally you go with a slightly different mentality to the court knowing that you are also a ‘top 10’ player. It is a little different. You can go as a favorite most of the time on the court until certain rounds of the tournament,” Sinner acknowledged. In this match it is not, as Novak seeks his eighth title in the All England, the fifth in a row. He hasn’t lost there since 2017 and on Center Court since 2013.

Regarding the duels between Alcaraz and Medvedev, they reflect a 1-1. Right at Wimbledon, in 2021, in the second round, they made their debut, and the Russian beat a young player who has nothing to do with him now. The closest precedent was the Indian Wells final of this course, where there was no color in favor of Carlos. But his rival warns that this does not count now, since in California the court was slow and in London he will be able to win more points with the serve.
