The Wimbledon 2024 men's singles semi-finals are set, and it's a blockbuster matchup between defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and fifth seed Daniil Medvedev. The two will face off on Friday at the All England Club, with the winner advancing to the final to face the winner of the other semi-final between Novak Djokovic and Lorenzo Musetti.
Alcaraz and Medvedev Both Looking to Reach Second Wimbledon Final
Alcaraz is the reigning champion at Wimbledon, having won the title in 2023. He is also the current world No. 1, and he is looking to become the first player to successfully defend his Wimbledon title since Roger Federer in 2007. Medvedev, meanwhile, is a two-time Grand Slam champion, having won the US Open in 2021 and 2022. He is also a former world No. 1, and he is looking to reach his second Wimbledon final after finishing runner-up to Djokovic in 2021.
A Matchup of Styles
Alcaraz and Medvedev have very different styles of play. Alcaraz is a baseline player who relies on his powerful groundstrokes and athleticism. Medvedev, on the other hand, is a counterpuncher who uses his superior court coverage and consistency to wear down his opponents. It should be a fascinating matchup between two of the best players in the world.
