Alcaraz, initially struggling, recovered from a set and break down to triumph 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 in a grueling three-hour, eleven-minute battle on Court One.

Meanwhile, Medvedev faced a tough challenge against world number one Jannik Sinner, prevailing 6-7 (7-9), 6-4, 7-6 (7-4), 2-6, 6-3 in a four-hour marathon on Centre Court. The Russian, aiming to avenge his loss to Alcaraz last year, displayed resilience and strategic prowess throughout the match.
