Wimbledon news: Novak Djokovic speaks after more boos as BBC pundit calls out colleague
RECAP: Catch up on Friday’s Wimbledon action ahead of the weekend’s finals.
There are just three days remaining of Wimbledon but Friday’s men’s semi-final day is one to mark on the calendar, with two blockbuster matches taking place. Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Lorenzo Musetti are all vying for a place in Sunday’s final.
Djokovic could tee up a repeat of last year’s final, where he lost in an all-time classic five-setter to Alcaraz. The Serbian star takes on Musetti, who is competing in his first Grand Slam semi-final, after Djokovic was given a walkover to the final four due to Alex De Minaur’s injury.
Medvedev sent out the top seed Jannik Sinner and will also hope to topple the defending champion in the day’s first match on Centre Court.
The Russian is facing a repeat of last year’s semi-final against Alcaraz, where he was denied, but revenge will be an almighty motivator alongside the prize of a place in the final against either Djokovic or Musetti.
Djokovic has not played a match since he hit back at the crowd for supposedly jeering him during a straight-sets win over Holger Rune and it remains to be seen how fans will react, having booed his name during Musetti’s on-court interview.
