Jeremy Chardy. What did he hide after defeating the French? Alexandre Müllerthe Chilean Nicholas Jarrythe Italian Matteo Berrettini and the danish Holger Rune.
On Friday he will face the Russian Daniel Medvedev on semifinal day, where Serbian Novak Djokovic will play against Italian Jannik Sinner.
“If the final is a match Novak Djokovic, even better, although he is probably the hardest opponent I can find”, concluded Alcaraz.
It will be a contender’s match against the seven-time champion, unbeaten in the tournament since 208, after 33 games. And not only for the most internationally recognized trophy, because Wimbledon is the ‘Cathedral’, especially, also for the world number one.

The Murcian depends on himself. If he is champion, he keeps the world number 1. If Friday is finalist beating MedvedevI would just tie it if Djokovic lose with sinful. In a final against ‘Nole’, the best player would take number one, which they traded throughout the season.
