Day 12 Men’s Semi-finals
Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner
Djokovic 3-0 @6/5
Is there anyone capable of halting Djokovic’s dominance at Wimbledon? Since 2017, he has remained undefeated at this prestigious tournament. Although Jannik Sinner came closer than anyone else, similar to Roger Federer in the 2019 final, when he secured a two-set advantage against the seven-time champion, there are some factors to consider. Sinner must deliver an impeccable serving performance and unleash his powerful forehand to its fullest potential. However, I have a slight concern that Sinner’s path to the semifinals has been relatively smooth, courtesy of a favorable draw. To truly challenge Djokovic for hours on the grass, Sinner could have benefited from more grueling battles. Undoubtedly, we can anticipate thrilling, hard-hitting exchanges, but we don’t foresee Sinner posing the same level of difficulty he did last year.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Daniil Medvedev
Medvedev @11/5
Looking at the quarterfinal outcomes, it’s evident that Alcaraz emerges as the strong favorite in this upcoming match. Medvedev was on the brink of defeat, narrowly avoiding a loss in a tiebreak against Christopher Eubanks. On the other hand, Alcaraz cruised to victory in straight sets against the talented young player Holger Rune. Furthermore, Alcaraz has consistently been considered the second favorite by many since before the tournament commenced. However, my prediction is that Medvedev will prevail in this encounter.
As the 2021 US Open champion, Medvedev possesses remarkable skill in redirecting pace with his flat shots and employing short swings. This particular style of play is bound to trouble Alcaraz significantly more than their previous meeting in Indian Wells, where Alcaraz emerged victorious. I believe that Medvedev’s shot trajectory will catch Alcaraz off guard, particularly at this stage of his grass court development. Additionally, it will be intriguing to observe how Alcaraz handles Medvedev’s deep return position. While the Spaniard is certainly proficient at volleying, he is not accustomed to serving and volleying on a regular basis. I anticipate that this match will serve as a crucial learning experience for Alcaraz, one that will undoubtedly aid his future performances on grass.
