Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and seven-time winner Novak Djokovic are poised to create a Wimbledon final showdown on Friday.

However, Daniil Medvedev and Lorenzo Musetti, who has reached his first Grand Slam semi-final, stand in their way.

Here's a look at the two semi-finals:

Alcaraz vs. Medvedev Rematch

Spanish world number three Carlos Alcaraz defeated Daniil Medvedev in straight sets in last year's Wimbledon semi-final. The Russian, however, avenged that loss with a victory in the US Open semi-finals.

Alcaraz, 21, aims to reach his fourth Slam final and potentially become only the sixth man to win both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year.

His Wimbledon journey has been uneven, as he was pushed to five sets by Frances Tiafoe in the third round and needed four sets to beat Ugo Humbert and Tommy Paul.

Alcaraz holds a 4-2 head-to-head lead over Medvedev, who he describes as "a wall, every ball bounces back."

Medvedev, aiming for his seventh Grand Slam final, stunned top seed Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals in five sets, avenging his Australian Open final loss to the Italian.

"It's tough to play against Carlos because you know whatever shot you hit, he can hit a winner from there," said Medvedev.

So far, Medvedev has hit 64 aces to Alcaraz's 52. Medvedev has been broken eight times, while Alcaraz has been broken 16 times.

Djokovic vs. Musetti: A Generational Clash

Djokovic, having equalled Roger Federer's record by reaching a 13th Wimbledon semi-final, is two wins away from matching Federer's record of eight singles titles at Wimbledon.

A win on Friday would take Djokovic to his 10th Wimbledon final and his 37th Grand Slam final. At 37, Djokovic could also become the oldest champion in the modern era, an impressive feat given his recent knee surgery.

This season, he lost his Australian Open and French Open titles and has yet to reach a final on tour.

He was granted a pass into the semi-finals when Alex de Minaur withdrew from their quarter-final due to a hip injury.

At Wimbledon, Djokovic has been in a combative mood, accusing fans of disrespecting him during his last-16 win over Holger Rune. "If somebody steps over the line, I react," he said.

Djokovic has a 5-1 record against Musetti, including a five-set comeback victory at the French Open last month. That third-round match set the record for the latest finish at Roland Garros, with Djokovic winning at 3:07 in the morning.

Musetti, 22, also took Djokovic to five sets in their first meeting at Roland Garros in 2021, when he won the opening two sets before injury affected his performance in the decider.

"He's a legend everywhere, but especially here at Wimbledon," said Musetti. "I expect a big fight. It's one of the toughest challenges. But I'm an ambitious guy and I like to be challenged."

If Musetti reaches the final, it will mark the first time in history that Italian players have reached both the men's and women's singles finals at a Grand Slam, with Jasmine Paolini set to play in the women's final against Barbora Krejcikova on Saturday.
