July 15, 2023

It’s Marketa Vondrousova Vs Ons Jabeur

Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic set up a potentially era-defining Wimbledon title showdown after cruising through their Centre Court semi-finals on Friday.

World No. 1 and US Open winner Alcaraz, playing only his fourth grass-court tournament, defeated Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 6-3, 6-3. Djokovic, the reigning Australian Open and French Open champion, reached his ninth final at the All England Club, and record 35th at the Grand Slams, by seeing off Jannik Sinner 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7/4).

Tomorrow (July 16), the 36-year-old World No. 2 will attempt to equal Roger Federer’s mark of eight Wimbledon titles and Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 majors.

Women’s Singles

Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic became the first unseeded player in 60 years to reach Wimbledon women’s final on Thursday, beating Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina. The World No. 42 came through 6-3, 6-3 and will face last year’s runner-up Ons Jabeur for the title today at 6.30 pm (IST). Jabeur beat second-ranked Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus to reach the finals.
