Carlos Alcaraz roared into the ATP Finals semi-finals to set up a mouthwatering clash with the world No 1 Novak Djokovic after overcoming Daniil Medvedev on Friday. The Spaniard needed to win to guarantee his progress and he made light work of the Russian to put him in contention to face Djokovic.
The 36-year-old’s path to the last four was far from straightforward, needing Jannik Sinner to deliver a victory over Holger Rune having already qualified.
But the home favourite came through in three sets, sealing Djokovic’s place, as he now faces Medvedev for a place in the final.
It will be the second time Alcaraz and Djokovic have faced each other since the epic Wimbledon final, where the 24-time Grand Slam winner was defeated. He got his revenge at the Cincinnati Masters and embarked on a 19-match winning run before losing to Sinner in Turin, but with the head-to-head finely poised at 2-2, it promises to be an exciting clash.
