The Wimbledon men's singles semi-finals are here, and boy, do we have some exciting matchups! One of the two standout draws is the clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev.
This semi-final not only promises great tennis but also some juicy betting opportunities. We've conducted a thorough analysis and crunched the numbers to bring you the best bets. Read on for our Alcaraz vs Medvedev prediction and betting tips.
Player Form: Both Look Undefeatable
Alcaraz has been on fire and not just this season. This young Spaniard has been shaking up the tennis world in recent years and is currently ranked world No. 3. In 2024, he’s been a force to be reckoned with, dominating nearly every tournament he enters. The youngster is practically unstoppable!
Alcaraz recently won the French Open title and is the reigning Wimbledon champion. He’s battled his way to the semi-finals, taking down players like Aleksandar Vukic, Frances Tiafoe, Ugo Humbert, and Tommy Paul. The guy’s on a roll and showing no signs of slowing down.
Medvedev has also been having a wonderful season. He made it to the finals of the Australian Open but lost to Jannik Sinner, the current world No. 1. However, he got his sweet revenge in a nail-biting five-setter against Sinner in the Wimbledon quarter-finals.
Though Medvedev hasn't won a title yet, his gameplay has been nothing short of titanic. He shone in the hard court season but stumbled a bit on clay, exiting Roland-Garros in the fourth round. However, Wimbledon seems to be his stage at the moment.

Anything Else Catch the Eye?
Alcaraz came into Wimbledon as the defending champion, and he's been battling fiercely to hold onto that title. Sitting at world No. 3, he's on a mission to climb to the top spot once again.
Alcaraz has racked up an impressive 26-6 win-loss record this season. In his last match against Tommy Paul, he fired seven aces and smashed 36 winners to bag the victory.
