Daniil Medvedev and Carlos Alcaraz greet each other: Wimbledon 2023

Carlos Alcaraz enjoys a slim 2-1 lead over Daniil Medvedev in their head-to-head count. The duo is set to play a second consecutive Grand Slam semifinal at the US Open on Friday after their Wimbledon final-four meeting in July.

Both faced each other for the first time at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships in a Round of 64 tie. The Russian faced little challenge from teen Alcaraz and won the match 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 in an hour and 34 minutes.

In their next two encounters, it was Alcaraz who came up with straight-set victories. The Spaniard thrashed Medvedev 6-3, 6-2 to clinch the Indian Wells Masters trophy in March this year.

Their latest match-up at the Championships yielded similar result as Medvedev went down 3-6, 3-6, 3-6 to the eventual champion. After his win over Andrey Rublev, the Russian suggested he needs to be at more than 100 percent in his quest to go level with Alcaraz in the head-to-head count.

"It needs to be 11 out of 10 because yeah, that's how Carlos is, very strong. Even here I think he lost one set but I watch some matches, sometimes on breakpoints he runs for the passing shots. Incredible stuff," the 2021 US Open winner Medvedev said during a press conference.
