Carlos Alcaraz Eyes Second Wimbledon Title, Faces Djokovic or Musetti in Final

Carlos Alcaraz, the 21-year-old tennis prodigy, is one match away from a second consecutive Wimbledon title after defeating Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals. Alcaraz will face either Novak Djokovic or Lorenzo Musetti in the final. A win would make him one of the youngest players to secure multiple Wimbledon titles.

Carlos Alcaraz, who recently turned 21, is poised for another Grand Slam victory, edging closer to clinching his second Wimbledon title and fourth major championship overall. Alcaraz overcame a shaky start to beat Daniil Medvedev 6-7 (1), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in the Wimbledon semifinals at Centre Court on Friday.

'I feel like I'm no longer a newcomer. I feel confident about how I'll approach the final,' Alcaraz commented post-match. Drawing from his past experience, the Spaniard aims to replicate and improve upon last year's winning strategies. Alcaraz's versatility and aggressive play make him a formidable competitor, having already won major titles on grass, clay, and hard courts.

If he wins on Sunday, Alcaraz will join Boris Becker and Bjorn Borg as the only men to secure multiple Wimbledon titles before turning 22. His opponent will be either 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic or the promising Lorenzo Musetti. Last year, Alcaraz defeated 2021 U.S. Open champion Medvedev in straight sets in the Wimbledon semifinals followed by a victory over Djokovic in the final.
