Alcaraz's win over Medvedev—Are we witnessing the rise of the next tennis legend?

Vamosss! Says Carlos Alcaraz as he set fire to Wimbledon’s rain with his sensational performance. The Spaniard is back in the finals of Wimbledon 2024 after his terrific win over Daniil Medvedev. But what could be the cherry on the cake after winning his ticket to the final? Taking that victory in front of his parents. Like most tennis stars, Alcaraz’s family is there to support him throughout the Grass Slam. As he gets ready to relax and recover to defend his Wimbledon glory, his parents are still enjoying their son’s victory over the Russian as they share an endearing moment.

Alcaraz had a slow start to his semifinal battle. The Spaniard was struck in the throes of Medvedev as he ran away with the first set and, of course, the violation controversy! However, Alcaraz came from behind, stronger than ever, as he swiftly brushed aside the Russian threat in the next 3 sets. He refused to give Medvedev any space to make a comeback and the match going to the deciding 5th-set. And the moment Medvedev returned a hit out of bounds at the match point, Alcaraz’s hands were in the air, as he shook his head with a victory howl.

However, the celebration had just begun, as the camera switched to his box. The camera captured his parents enjoying themselves as they smiled, kissed, and then embraced each other in an endearing hug. Their prodigious son is all set to defend his crown, after winning French Open 2024.
