Medvedev — Alcaraz: Prediction for the Wimbledon 2024 Semi-final
Medvedev have some problems playing on grass and clay. Hard fits him better. He's claimed many times that he can't fix the way he plays on the inconvenient surfaces, although he's been trying to for many years. Medvedev has been pretty unstable in the current tournament. He reached the quarter-finals without a good performance. He had a tough 5-sets game and then a 3-days pause. This can affect Daniil mentally. Medvedev's performance been unstable recently. He eliminated early from the 2024 French Open (clay) and the Halle tournament (grass).

After several years we can see that Alcaraz plays well, without depending on the surface. He has lost only 1 out of his last 14 games. Alcaraz is in perfect form and in good mood. He's ready to win his opponent once again. Our prediction is the following:
Al-Khaleej
Al-Ahli
Al-Hilal
Al-Feiha FC
Al-Shabab Riyadh
Al-Nassr
Borussia Dortmund
St. Pauli
Monaco
Lille
