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
