2023 Wimbledon SF: Carlos Alcaraz vs. Daniil Medvedev

[Hitman]

So many breaks in this third

 

[jm1980]

Another break?

 

[Sarzy]

Now hold your serve Carlos!

 

[Kralingen]

Carlos just wanted the seamless scoreline of 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.

I don’t mind it. Very aesthetically minded kid.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Mugdevev has been putrid. Anyway novak will eat carlitos for breakfast if he has these type of spills.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Goodness gracious - a fifth break as CA smoked another return.

 

[mightyrick]

After seeing this match, I'd expect Djokovic to be coming to net probably 40-50 times.

 

[NoleFam]

Medvedev got thrown two lifelines this set and did nothing with them. That's really pathetic.

 

[El_Yotamo]

Are those Korda and Khachanov disguised as the semifinalists??

 

[ojo rojo]

Tiny cramps or Big cramps?

Crampitos, claro qué si

 

[doodlyd]

medvedev forgot how to hit first serve

 

[Tweener]

Carlitos invited Meddy back in the match but he declined the offer.

 

[Soul_Evisceration]

After seeing this match, I'd expect Djokovic to be coming to net probably 40-50 times.

And return Carlos' Serve at the baseline not 5 - 6 feet behind the baseline.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Need to look at those stats again my friend...lol

Very true! Lol

 

[RS]

Andy fo sho.

4 sets?

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

What is your forecast for the final between the number 1 and 2 in the world?

If Alcaraz plays proactive tennis like he usually does, he'll have great chances.
But If he plays reactive tennis again just like the RG semis, he'll be doomed again.

 

[tudwell]

That short slice won’t pay quite as many dividends on Sunday but it’ll be an important shot, I feel.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

MP alcaraz

 

[Jonas78]

If Carlo plays like this vs Djoker, his dead...

 

[Hitman]

This is it!

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Match point Carlos.
GSM

 

[mike danny]

Well yeah Fed was the insanely talented teen that looked like he would never put it together but my god did he put it together.

Also Djokovic only had 1 slam at 23 so that is the right age 22/23

He had only 1 slam in big part because of prime Fedal, not their 36 year old selves.

 

[DSH]

What a poor Wimbledon but at least the expected final is coming.
Hopefully it will be a captivating match.

 

[mightyrick]

And return Carlos' Serve at the baseline not 5 - 6 feet behind the baseline.

Agree. Honestly, Medvedev's return isn't great. He puts the ball in play, but not with great interest (unless the server really sucks). Medvedev depends on his movement to bail him out of his return game.

Djokovic doesn't have that problem.

 

[NoleFam]

Medvedev was actually standing back there with the linespeople before Alcaraz missed the 1st serve. Lol.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

Alcaraz is the only one to challenge Djokovic at this moment.

The old gunslinger against the young sharpshooter. This is the rivalry we currently have.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

If Carlo plays like this vs Djoker, his dead...

He must not clown around.

 

[Hitman]

He wins!

 

[Terenigma]

Fantastic point to end the match! GSM Alcaraz!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Slice invasion activated. Possibly more powerful than poisoned slices.

 

[Tennis Fan States63]

Meddy emptying the chamber on the FHDTL......but down to MP.

 

[Kralingen]

Just SENSATIONAL on the final point

Way way way too good

His potential is to be the best ever

 

[abmk]

fitting end to the match. speed from Alcaraz.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Okay he won.
Let's see what happens in the final, men and (lovely) women.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Horrible semis!!!! Hope the final doesn’t disappoint. We shall see.

 

[Kaj]

Great point to end it! Hats off.

 

[ibbi]

The back half of this third set is probably exactly what Alcaraz needed going into the final. Needed to be kept in check a little bit.

 

[aman92]

What a way to end the match... fabulous

 

[optic yellow]

What is that weak ass volley from Med, disgusting stuff

 

[Zetty]

Carlos is a bad man

 

[Thundergod]

Nice win by Alcaraz, he played really in control besides those 2 service games where he basically broke himself. Finally, the matchup everyone's been waiting for.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Wow! What a way to win it!

 

[toby55555]

Boring Wimbledon, most predictable final but at least the last match should be good if Carlos takes the game to Novak.

 

[RS]

and Med broken again.

Good ending point

 

[CoolCoolCool]

Good finish.

 

[Quaichang]

What a point to finish the match!

 

[tudwell]

Does Alcaraz have a better backhand down the line than Novak these days? It’s been firing for Carlos this fortnight. Could be key on Sunday.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Alcaraz is a man on mission!

 

[Zardoz7/12]

Medvedev and Sinner might have been worthy semi finalists but really did not live up to their hype.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

What a way to end the match... fabulous

The clowning in the last part was unnecessary though.
