On Friday, Carlos Alcaraz, the Spanish Boy, reached the final of the grass-courted Wimbledon after defeating Daniil Medvedev 6-7(1), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.
Alcaraz struggled to find his best level in the opening set and raised the bars of the game to capture the victory.
With reaching the final, Alcaraz is just a victory away from winning Wimbledon title back to back. He is also the fifth man player in the history to reach the final of both Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
Alcaraz becomes the first Spanish man to reach back to back Wimbledon finals since 2011. The last man to do it was Rafa Nadal.
Alcaraz said during his on-court interview: “I’m really happy about my performance today,” adding: “I started really nervously. He was dominating the match, playing great tennis with his serve and his return game.
“It was difficult for me but I tried to push out the nerves at the beginning of the second set. It was really helpful to be up 3-1 and after that I could play my own game and enjoy the match a little bit more. I tried to hit great shots, I moved well, so in general I think I played a pretty good match.”
The match was attended by several figures like famous singer Pink, and Croatian football icon, Real Madrid legend Luka Modric, and the sister of the Princess of Wales Pippa Middleton.
