Carlos Alcaraz defeated Daniil Medvedev with a resounding 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, earning him a spot in the title clash against Novak Djokovic. He has achieved an impressive feat at Wimbledon 2023, securing his place as the fourth youngest men’s singles finalist in the Open Era in a remarkable display of skill and determination.
Alcaraz etched his name alongside two legendary Spanish players such as Rafael Nadal and Manuel Santana as the third Spanish man to reach the Wimbledon final. His dominance was evident throughout the match, as his commanding performance lasted just one hour and forty-nine minutes, leaving no doubt about his abilities on the lawns of the All England Club.
Intriguingly, Alcaraz and Djokovic share a 1-1 record in their ATP Head-to-Head series, with the Serbian emerging victorious in their previous encounter in the semifinals of Roland Garros last month. With the Wimbledon title at stake, Alcaraz has the opportunity to settle the score and potentially claim his second major championship.

By reaching his second Grand Slam final before the age of 21, Alcaraz joins an elite group of seven men in the Open Era who have achieved this remarkable feat. His rapid rise in the tennis world is a testament to his exceptional talent and determination to succeed. However, he doesn’t want to stop just being a finalist.
“It is going to be incredibly difficult, but I will fight. I believe in myself and I believe that I can beat him here. He hasn’t lost on this court since 2013, so it is going to be a really tough challenge for me. I dream since I started playing to play a final here and it is even more special playing against Novak. It is a final. There is no time to be afraid, be tired. I will go for it”, Alcaraz said.
