A look at the matchups

(No. 3) Carlos Alcaraz vs. (No. 5) Daniil Medvedev

An intriguing opener to the semifinals pits a rematch of last year’s Wimbledon semifinal battle as Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion at the grass-court major, will square off against Daniil Medvedev.

The challenger is coming off a shocking upheaval of top-ranked Jannik Sinner. He also has victories over No. 10 Grigor Dimitrov and Jan-Lennard Struff.

Medvedev knocked off Alcaraz in four sets last September at the U.S. Open, making up for his straight set shortcomings at Wimbledon.

Serving will be a hot topic for the Russian, who knows he will need to up his Ace game to defeat the sizzling Spaniard, who possesses an array of speed and power few can match. A true rising star in the game today.

Medvedev’s ability to stay back on returns will also be an intriguing angle, as will his emotions, which are riding high after his five-set victory over Sinner. His play at the net, previously a weakness, has vastly improved. He also touts an elite defense.

Alcaraz is fairly rested and calculated after a four-set victory over Tommy Paul in the quarterfinals. Struggling to skirt by has been the theme with a four-setter against Ugo Humbert and five-set thriller against Francis Tiafoe prior to that.

He hasn’t played his best but could be closing in on a second consecutive Grand Slam title. Still, there are noticeable miscues lately to monitor. Specifically, his serve-and-volley game will be a point of emphasis, as will his ability to control what has become a slew of unforced errors.

Alcaraz has won five of the last six encounters with Medvedev. Will the Spaniard replicate his success in last year’s semifinal, or will it go the way of the U.S. Open rematch?

(No. 2) Novak Djokovic vs. Lorenzo Musetti (No. 25)

These two are familiar with each other after an encounter at the French Open. Musetti took a late lead on Djokovic, but that was quickly washed away as the Serbian stormed back to win the final two sets and advance to the fourth round. A thriller that could be a preview of what is ahead for this match.

Musetti is coming off a strong quarterfinal victory over No. 13 Taylor Fritz in five sets. The match was a seesaw affair that brought out the best in Musetti, who powered through the first five games of the fifth set enroute to victory.

The Italian, who is 29-18 this season, is more of clay court specialist but is coming into his own on grass (18-9). He made the semifinals at Stuttgart and the final at Queen’s. Keep an eye on a backhand slice that could sway the game.

Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, is coming off three days rest after a walkover from Alex De Minaur, which could lead to a slow start out of the gate, especially considering he is fresh off meniscus surgery after the French Open. He disposed of Holger Rune quickly in the previous match and dropped the first set before rallying in four against Alexei Popyrin in the Round of 32.

The Serbian has found success against Musetti by wearing him down throughout their meetings in the past. It appears he will try and do that again on fresher legs. Don’t be surprised if he has to come from behind in a familiar scenario.

Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, leads the head-to-head 5-1, including two Grand Slam triumphs. The last three matches between these two have been competitive and risky. No reason to believe this one won’t follow suit.
