Wimbledon 2024 Semifinals matchup - [3] Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (SPN) v/s [5] Daniil Medvedev (RUS)

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Good one.
Its a repeat of the last year's SF and overall a 3rd slam SF between these two.
Also a 3rd match between the two at Wimbledon. Alcaraz won 2023 in straight sets, while Medvedev won 2021 in straight sets.

Coming into the match, Medvedev has beaten world number one Jannik Sinner in a 5 setter, while Alcaraz defeated Tommy Paul in 4 sets after going a set and 2-0 down.

How do you think this one goes? Who wins? How many sets?

Its not going to be an outdoors match. They're doing all they can to screw Alcaraz.

Carlos in 4.

2024 Wimbledon SF - [1] Carlos Alcaraz vs [5] Daniil Medvedev

Overall h2h is 4-2 in favour of Alcaraz, but Medvedev leads 2-1 in bo5. Latest matchup in a slam was last years USO where Medvedev performed a masterclass downing Raz in 4 sets. Raz however beat Med fairly easy at Wimbledon last year.

Not true. The other one was made a couple of seconds before yours.

You're late.

Alcaraz should have the matchup advantage but if Medvedev serves like he did today, man its gonna be dangerous for the little one.

Is this match on Friday? The roof will be closed. Wimbledon loves closed roof - it's an indoor tournament now.

 

[sportsfan1]

Novak, Med, Carlos, Musetti the likely winners in that order? Just because of how carlos lost to med at the uso having no solutions for med game.

Thus far, when Carlos loses to a player at a slam, he beats him the next time they meet at a slam. Hopefully this continues.

Why would the roof be closed? Rain in the forecast?

There is no rain forecast from 11am onwards on Friday, so the roof will be open.

Cannot see past Carlos as he looked superb towards end of his match with Tommy Paul. Med will never give up but unless he can conjure up a new strategy (possible with him) cannot see him winning more than a set on this surface.

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

Med will surprise a lot of people. His level is big time overlooked right now. This ain’t last year Med at Wimbledon

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Alcaraz will have an even easier time with roof open in outdoor conditions! Alcaraz in 4 comfortable sets

 

[FernandoBiH]

Carlos from last 2 sets vs Paul is favourite to wi. WIMBLEDON this year.

 

[Rosstour]

Medvedev in 4 or 5, then takes a breadstick from his buddy and idol Novak on the way to a 3-set loss in the Final

Wimbledon organizers LOVE the roof. If there is even a speck of rain OR Strong winds - they will close the roof.
And once the Roof is CLOSED - it is NEVER OPENED again during the match, even if the weather is sunny.
The rule says: Refree will see the weather conditions 30 mins before the start of the match. Any wind or rain (present or Forecasted) would make them close the roof. Then the match would be carried out with a closed roof regardless of the change in weather.

The most egregious example of this rule: Nadal-Djokovic Wimb 2018 SF. The match resumed next day. It was HOT and Sunny. But they kept the roof closed. Morons...

Last year during final, wind was medium heavy and roof wasn't closed.

Carlos in 4 because of his magical footwork on his backhand.

Meddy to avenge AO F, Wimbledon SF & USO F all in one fell swoop.

Meddy to avenge AO F, Wimbledon SF & USO F all in one fell swoop.

Unlikely, but that sure sounds sublime to me. Kralingen will probably quit the board, though

Why didn't they close the roof in last year's final? There was some wind.
