Wimbledon 2023

Wrapped it up in 3. Great news for his for the final. Alcaraz made this semi in 3 so is fresher than Medvedev, but I doubt this'll be a three niller.

The cold war lot will be gutted if there;s a Russian playing a Serb in Sunday's final.

Wimbledon's 'fair and objective' crowd will be right behind Alcarez here.

What is after a 5th set?

Well, nothing. But my point was that he could have been beaten by now also.

what a forehand cross court by med.

Technically, a champions tie break. A newer invention to prevent the final sets going to crazy games like 67-65

That's part of the 5th set

Alcaraz is great

Alcaraz cruising currently. 2-0 up now

EDIT: And now he has broken Medvedev in his first game of the third set.

Breaks galore in the third. Two each now

What a shot to win it with! Should be a great final on Sunday

The gulf in class between that 1st and 2nd SF was extreme.

Djokovic wipes the floor with Alcaraz.

Hope you all made a killing off of this gem.

Not so sure. I think Djokovic will win but only because Alcaraz seem to be his own worst enemy at times.

He will dominate tennis in years to come. It could be an exciting final.

Sinner proved today that in this form you have to hit the lines with howitzers to win a point off Djokovic.

Novak will make short work of Alcarez. Only an injury can stop him doing that.

On this surface, Sinner beats Alacarez today if they'd faced each other.

No chance. Sinner looked stiff and awkward for large parts of that match.

Alcaraz was fantastic, albeit against a lacklustre Medvedev. I do think Djokovic will win but it certainly won’t be straight sets.

Sinner was over pressing. But you have to do that with Djokovic to stand any hope on grass. He couldn't keep his footing.

Alcarez hits way too many half court balls to be successful against Novak. The big Serb will pin that lad back behind the court with deep ground strokes and pick him off when he cant deal with the pace and angles he gets.
