Alcaraz fights back to reach Wimbledon final

ANDREJ ISAKOVIC/ AFP

Carlos Alcaraz finally found his A-game to tame Daniil Medvedev and reach his second straight Wimbledon final, as the champion overcame an erratic first set to beat the Russian 6-7 (1) 6-3 6-4 6-4 on Friday.

Alcaraz, whose tournament so far has been typified by lapses in concentration and drops in intensity, was on the back foot as Medvedev clinched the first set in a tiebreak.

But he kicked into gear and took the match away from Medvedev to oust the fifth seed in the semi-finals for the second consecutive year.

Alcaraz will now face either Novak Djokovic, whom he beat to clinch the title last year, or Italian Lorenzo Musetti who has reached his first Grand Slam semi-final.
