Wimbledon 2023: Alcaraz Aiming to Knock Djokovic off his Perch

The men’s singles tournament at the 2023 Wimbledon Tennis Championships has reached the semi-final stage and the two matches promise to be classics.

World number one Carlos Alcaraz is scheduled to face Daniil Medvedev, while 23-time Grand Slam winner Djokovic meets Jannik Sinner.

Djokovic is the favourite on UK betting apps to win the title for the eighth time, but he undoubtedly faces a tough task to get the job done. 

Read on as we assess both semi-final matches and look at some key betting angles to consider for the rest of the tournament.

Sinner blew a golden opportunity to beat Djokovic in last year’s quarter-finals and will be desperate to make amends this time around.

He allowed Djokovic to storm back from two sets down to secure a 5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 victory, but will fancy his chances this time around.

Djokovic has lost a set in each of his last two matches and will likely be pushed even harder by a player who is yet to win a Grand Slam.

With that in mind, the odds of 9/2 with 10bet for Djokovic to win 3-2 will tempt plenty of punters on Friday.

Alcaraz announced his arrival at the top level by winning the 2022 US Open and has been heavily backed to emerge victorious at Wimbledon.

He hammered Medvedev 6-3, 6-2 in their most recent meeting in March and looks a good bet to see off the Russian player’s challenge in their semi-final.

The Spanish star will expect to play against Djokovic if he reaches the final, but new betting sites would rate him as the outsider if they did meet.

However, his current odds of 5/2 to win a second Grand Slam look too good to ignore and he is fancied to lift the trophy this weekend.

Here is the latest outright market for the men’s singles tournament at Wimbledon 2023 (via 10bet):

• Novak Djokovic - 8/15
• Carlos Alcaraz - 5/2
• Daniil Medvedev - 11/1
• Jannik Sinner - 12/1
