Olympic champion Elena Vesnin shared his expectations for the US Open semi-final between Russia Daniel Medvedev and Spanish Carlos Alcaraz .
– Probably, on paper, Alcaraz can be called a favorite in the match with Medvedev. Carlos has won his last two head-to-head matches. But today, the situation is quite different. Medvedev is in very good shape. He had great matches with de Minaur and Rublev. Andrei caused a lot of trouble, but Danya didn’t leave a chance. All his matches are very stable and regular, without slowing down. I’m sure Medvedev will draw conclusions from the recent defeats against Alcaraz. I think we will have a very brilliant fight in this semi-final. I won’t be surprised if it’s a five-setter,” Vesnina told the “Championship”.
Approximate start of the match – at 2:00 p.m. Moscow time on Saturday. In the other semi-final of the Grand Slam tournament, American Ben Shelton and Serbian Novak Djokovic will play.
Alcaraz and Medvedev have faced each other three times, including two in 2023. In March, the Spaniard won the Masters final in Indian Wells with a score of 2-0, in July, in the Wimbledon semi-finals, he won again won with a clean sheet – 3-0. At Wimbledon 2021, Medvedev was stronger than Alcaraz in three matches.
