Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz puts on a show to beat Daniil Medvedev on Centre Court... and he is now one game away from defending his Wimbledon crown

Daily Mail  

On a day when ears were peeled for boos on Centre Court, no one predicted it would be Carlos Alcaraz to trigger the wrath of the crowd. Carlos Alcaraz booked his place in Sunday's men's singles final after a dominant performance Daniil Medvedev took the first set but faltered against Wimbledon's defending champion The camps are following each-other's progress closely; Alcaraz watched his side's win over Germany on his phone in an ice bath and his good friend and Spain centre forward Alvaro Morata prepared for their semi-final against France by watching Alcaraz beat Tommy Paul. Alcaraz took control of the game in the second set and he didn't let go en route to victory That match was characterised by Alcaraz exploiting Medvedev's deep positioning – almost shoulder-to-shoulder with the line judges – with drop shots and serve-volleying. Medvedev forced himself forward on the return on Friday and that switch-up perhaps contributed to Alcaraz's woeful first-serve percentage of 48 in that opening set. Alcaraz said he was feeling 'calm' in the final moments before his victory on Centre Court 'That moment I was feeling really calm.
