Alcaraz vs Medvedev – Wimbledon 2023 semi-final preview

Since suffering a hiding at the hands of Carlos Alcaraz in March, Daniil Medvedev has regrouped, won a Masters 1000 title and climbed back up the rankings, and he's now on his best ever Wimbledon run. Could it be that that brutal run-in with the 20-year-old world No.1 has inspired him to greater heights?

The Russian was briefly seen as a rival to Novak Djokovic, but Alcaraz's meteoric rise put Medvedev firmly in the backseat. Now, at the age of 27, he is in danger of becoming yesterday's man without ever really getting going. However, his displays at the All England Club over the past fortnight have shown a quiet determination. His hard-fought victory over Chris Eubanks was one of the matches of the tournament.

It's a first Wimbledon semi-final for Alcaraz too, though seeing as the Spaniard has only ever played at SW19 twice before, this can be seen as natural progress. He was taken apart by Medvedev on his Wimbledon debut two years ago, back when the balance of power was very different.

Alcaraz was a wildcard and the world No.75, and the interactions between Medvedev and the crowd were more memorable than the tennis itself. Clearly wound up by a lack of support from the stands, Medvedev cupped his ears in their direction throughout, and as the slight underdog he'll be hoping for a little more backing from the Centre Court faithful this time.

The serve and volley worked wonders for Alcaraz at their recent meeting at Indian Wells. If Medvedev is able to make a fast start though, the Spaniard has shown a tendency to get skittish early doors. Read on and we'll show you how to watch Alcaraz vs Medvedev live stream in this Wimbledon 2023 semi-final free online.
