Wimbledon quarterfinal play has concluded, and we now know the matchups for the final four players in the women’s semifinal and the men’s semifinal.
After defeating Holger Rune (his doubles partner at 13 years old) 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 on Wednesday, world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz will advance to his first Wimbledon semifinal.
Alcaraz’s previous best finish at Wimbledon was making the second round in 2021. At 20 years old, he is the youngest man to advance to the semifinal since 2007.
In Wednesday’s other men’s quarterfinal matchup, American Christopher Eubanks saw his dream Wimbledon run come to a heartbreaking end after falling to No. 3 Daniil Medvedev in five, 6-4, 1-6, 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-1.
Still, the American captured hearts around the world in the process and took No. 3 Medvedev for a ride in a thrilling match. Eubanks, who was ranked No. 77 in the world heading into the tournament, also broke Andre Agassi’s 31-year record for most winners hit during a single year at Wimbledon, with 317.
Alcaraz and Medvedev will face off in the first men’s semifinal Friday, while No. 8 Jannik Sinner and No. 2 Novak Djokovic clinched their spots on Tuesday.
