Carlos Alcaraz vs Daniil Medvedev Prediction: Both tennis players are in great shape

In the semifinal match of the U.S. Open tennis tournament, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz will meet Daniil Medvedev, the world number one will play against the number three. Not so long ago, at Wimbledon, the guys played each other and that match was won in three sets by Carlos, who is listed as a notable favorite in the pairing.

Carlos easily beat Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals. The Spaniard had two hours and 24 minutes to get past the German. During the game, Alcaraz served three times with three double faults. He won 76% of his points on the first serve and 57% on the second. In addition to Zverev, Alcaraz beat Köpfer, Harris, Evans, and Arnaldi, losing only one set to Evans.

Daniil also beat his compatriot Andrey Rublev surprisingly easily in the quarterfinals. The match between the two Russians lasted two hours and 48 minutes, and Daniil won it 6:4, 6:3, 6:4. During the game, Medvedev served eight times with nine double faults, won 75% of points on the first serve and 29% on the second. Before beating Rublev, Andrey had knocked out Balash, O'Connell, Baez, and De Minaur.

Both tennis players are in great shape, as we saw from the matches of the guys, and both are comfortable on the courts of New York. Do not forget that Medvedev won the Grand Slam in the U.S. in 2021 and Alcaraz in 2022. So we expect a battle even though Medvedev couldn't compete with the Spaniard at the last Wimbledon. We think that we are expecting a rather long match. We will see at least four sets. As for the outcome, we see Alcaraz in the final, who has recently looked stronger than Medvedev.
