Mastering clay and grass courts to reach the finals of both Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same season is what Carlos Alcaraz has achieved with his victory over Medvedev in the Wimbledon 2024 semifinals, making him the second youngest player of all time to do so. Only Rafael Nadal, who accomplished it in 2006, achieved this at a younger age.

21, 68 - Carlos Alcaraz (21y 68d) has become the second-youngest player in the Open Era to reach the Men's Singles F at Wimbledon and Roland Garros in a season, older only than Rafael Nadal (20y 34d) in 2006. Prodigious.#Wimbledon | @Wimbledon @atptour @ATPMediaInfo pic.twitter.com/EoZGPIsBlk

The qualification for the Wimbledon 2024 final by Carlos Alcaraz leads to a series of consequences in the ATP ranking, among which stands out his presence in the top-3 of the world ranking regardless of the outcome. If he wins the championship, he could rise to the second position on the list, as long as Djokovic is not his opponent in the grand final on Sunday.

Carlos Alcaraz was very pleased with his level of play in these Wimbledon 2024 semifinals, where he was able to defeat Daniil Medvedev. "I tried to mix tactics throughout the match. I think I have been able to play my own tennis and set aside the nerves I had in the first set. It wasn't easy to break down the wall on the other side of the court. I will try to do things even better than last year; it will be a fantastic Sunday for all Spaniards," he said with a smile.

Daniil Medvedev lost his composure when Eva Asderaki, the chair umpire in his match against Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals of Wimbledon 2024, called a double bounce on a ball that the Russian thought he had reached in time. He must have said something very serious to the Greek umpire because she didn't hesitate to come down from her chair to speak with the tournament supervisor, consulting whether those words deserved only a warning or something more. In the end, it all resulted in a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct.

I'm not sure how close Medvedev was to being disqualified after losing serve while serving to take the set.

A double bounce called by Asderaki made him lose his composure, and he said something to the umpire.

Novak Djokovic granted an extensive interview to Vogue Adriá in which he was questioned about the relationship he maintains with his children. The Serbian spoke wonders about them and everything they bring to his day-to-day life, pointing to music as an important bond with Stefan and Tara.

He admits that they bring their instruments to his tournaments and spend time together playing.

Novak Djokovic: “Tara plays the violin, Stefan loves to play the guitar, and I play the saxophone. Sometimes our jams last for hours, and it’s my favorite part of the day or trip.
