Alcaraz vs Medvedev preview

It’s the battle of the US Open champions on Centre Court this Friday when Carlos Alcaraz faces Daniil Medvedev for a place in the Wimbledon final. Both players have reached the last four at the All England Club for the first time in their careers and have produced some sublime tennis to reach the latter stages of the prestigious tournament. 

Third seed Medvedev has certainly had the easier draw, though had to come through a stern challenge in the quarters against surprise package Christopher Eubanks, eventually securing a 6-4 1-6 4-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-1 victory. The Russian used all his experience to outclass the American in the final set and will now aim to reach a fifth Grand Slam final. 

Medvedev, who won the US Open in 2021, played Alcaraz at Wimbledon two years ago and dropped just seven games across three sets. However, the 20-year-old has come a long way in the last 24 months and has now emerged as one of the most formidable forces in the men’s game. The Spaniard won his maiden Slam last year at Flushing Meadows and in doing so became the first teenager in the Open Era to top the men’s rankings. 

Already with 11 ATP Tour-level singles titles to his name, this year he secured a comfortable straight sets win over Medvedev to triumph at Indian Wells and showed his ability on grass when he secured victory at Queen’s. At SW19, he’s become a firm crowd favourite, utilising his powerful serve and aggressive baseline style to blow his opponents away. 

Alcaraz has already dispatched former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berretinni and in the last round beat Danish sixth seed Holger Rune 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 6-4. Medvedev should provide a far tougher test and will look to counter-punch from the baseline. This is going to be something special, so here’s how to watch an Alcaraz vs Medvedev live stream from wherever you are.
