The Spaniard played his best tennis and showed his huge potential. He nullified the Russian’s terrifying serve, hurt him with his own and showed all the variety of his game, with winners from distance and volleys, which alternated with some drop shots and by no means allowed the Russian to play comfortably, who did not know how to oppose the control of the Spanish.

Medvedev started the match by taking away from far behind as had been common in their last matches, but seeing that it wasn’t working (as it allowed the Spaniard to get up to the net, who was able to volley effectively), he tried to take it away later but was unable to prevent Carlos from surpass it or. and again. Because of this, Medvedev returned to the starting position and ended up with a sea of ​​doubts without finding a solution.

In the first two sets up to 3-0 in the third, Carlos’ game was perfect. Concentrated, consistent, at all times aware of what he has to do to overcome Medvedev, who is full of doubts about how to oppose the dominance of his rival.

Carlos surpassed him in all aspects of the game: served with great regularity, volleyed with great efficiency, pushed the Russian forward with a high rhythm in the background… Alcaraz managed to completely confuse such a tough opponent as the Russian.

Starting with a 3-0 lead in the third set, and the first two being handled solidly by Carlos in doubles 6-3, it seemed that the match was already decided. However, Alcaraz had a small problem.

The game got out of control (there were up to five interruptions), but the Spaniard came back to recover his game against Medvedev overwhelmed by the diversity of the Spanish tennis player’s resources and ended the match with a sensational goal, a well-deserved finale to his sensational match. Carlos thus reaches his first Wimbledon final, against Djokovic, his toughest opponent, full of self-confidence and morale. A dream final for all fans.
