July 12 (UPI) -- Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz used his unmatched quickness and breathtaking shot-making ability to tame nerves and beat Daniil Medvedev for the second consecutive year in the Wimbledon semifinals Friday in London.
The Spaniard started slow, but later nearly set the grass blades ablaze on Center Court during his 6(1)-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory. He will meet No. 2 Novak Djokovic of Serbia, who later defeated No. 25 Lorenzo Musetti of Italy 6-4, 7-6, 6-4, in the men's singles finale Sunday at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
