Russian Daniil Medvedev’s match against Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon semi-finals did not bring pleasure, but only caused concern, Russia’s top coach Vladimir Kamelzon told .
On Friday, Medvedev lost to Alcaraz in four sets – 7:6 (7:1), 3:6, 4:6, 4:6.
— The match itself was very high class in terms of professionalism. But I was alarmed by the fact that in the first set Medvedev led 5:2, Alcaraz equalized 5:5, and only in the tiebreaker Daniil won 7:6. What I saw in it was that Medvedev was not quite ready to compete with Alcaraz for the first place. In the end, that’s what happened. Daniil lost the following sets.
This game did not give me much pleasure, but only caused me anxiety. “I really hoped that Medvedev would win Wimbledon, because he had clearly improved his game,” Kamelzon told .
Medvedev, 28, is ranked number five in the ATP rankings. Alcaraz, 21, is the world’s third-ranked racquet.
The second finalist of Wimbledon 2024 will be decided in the match between Lorenzo Musetti (Italy, 25 years old) and Novak Djokovic (Serbia, 2 years old), which will take place on Friday.
