chetan patak was watching. last year, we had a five—set epic between these two. entirely different, in part because a big part carlos alcaraz is a better player a year on, and a big part also because novak djokovic was clearly out of sorts. alcaraz�*s level was high from the start. he broke the djokovic serve early and then raced into a two—set lead. all that whilst the seven—time champion struggled. djokovic only had knee surgery last month, and up against a relentless player like alcaraz, it showed. there was a brief opening for a djokovic comeback in the third set when alcaraz led his first championship points slip away, but he made no mistake in the tie break, winning in straight sets. at 21, he becomes the youngest man to win wimbledon and the french open in the same year. i'm repeating, you know, my dream. yeah, i want you to keep going, but obviously it's a great feeling to, to play in this court, in this beautiful court, uh, to leave this amazing trophy. i'm going to say. or i said it before that, uh, for me, this was the most beautiful tournament, the mo

both had fairly comfortable semifinal wins earlier, as our reporter chetan pathak tells us. so, here we go again, just like last year, novak djokovic will have to beat carlos alcaraz if he is to win a roger federer equalling eight wimbledon singles title. in the first semifinal of the day, alcaraz was up against daniil medvedev and, like when they played each other 12 months ago, it was medvedev who made the strongest start and edge to the first set on a tie—break. but alcaraz is well used to coming from behind and his superior shotmaking showed thereafter. he comfortably took the next three sets to make it back to back finals at wimbledon stop so if you have kept hold of this title, but one man who has is novak djokovic who at 37 is as focused and determined as he has ever been. up against italian 22—year—old lorenzo musetti, there was not too much the 2a time grants i'm jumping was not too much the 2a time grants i'mjumping had to was not too much the 2a time grants i'm jumping had to worry about. djokovic had knee surgery only a matter of weeks ago, yet has had too much f

chetan pathak is there for us. quite an eventful match for paolini?s, but on the show courts, that's not a problem with the roof. we'll start with that extraordinary match between paoli the and madison keys. it was brilliant, but unfortunately madison keys felt something in her leg. she was 5—2 up in the deciding set. she appeared to feel something at 5—4 and then took a medical timeout. she returned with strapping on her leg and was immediately broken by paoli and was immediately broken by paoli and e. keys could not continue, so in tears and high emotion, she had to leave the court. not the way paolini would want to do it, but the italian is through to her first quarterfinal. 0n centre court, the defending champion carlos alcaraz dominating. credit to humbert, fighting back. temp one is —— alcaraz is trying to hold onto his serve at the moment. he could take a leave there. and try and take us to a fifth set if we can. ya nixon is the world number one against the very entertaining ben shelton the american. yannick senna seems to have taken a break in
