A Wimbledon semi-finalist in each of the past two editions, can Medvedev take the next step this year?
Medvedev is one of just five active men’s players to win a major, having triumphed at the 2021 US Open – but he has lost his five other major finals.
The former world number one is a hard-court specialist – his six major finals have been split between the Australian Open and US Open – but he has a solid recent record at Wimbledon.
He was stopped by eventual champion Alcaraz in the last four in both 2023 and 2024, winning the first set in last year’s meeting on Centre Court before being overpowered.
He prepared for this year’s tournament by reaching the Halle final, losing to Bublik in straight sets, and will expect another deep run at Wimbledon.
