Novak Djokovic is just two wins away from an unprecedented 24th major title, which would equal the all-time record. However, current world number one Carlos Alcaraz could pose a significant challenge in his path.  If they both beat their respective opponents today, we could witness a thrilling “The GOAT vs. The Kid” final.  

In the women’s quarter-finals, Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina delivered a stunning performance as she defeated World #1, Iga Świątek to set up an intriguing semi-final matchup against Markéta Vondroušová. Here, we’ll preview all four semi-finals and offer our tennis betting tips to assist you in making informed decisions in your bet prediction today. 

**Men’s Semi-Final 1: Carlos Alcaraz (1) vs. Daniil Medvedev (3)** 

World number three Daniil Medvedev had an uphill task to secure a semi-final place. Trailing behind Christopher Eubanks with a score of 6-4, 1-6, 4-6, the Russian was on the verge of elimination. However, he rallied back and staged an impressive comeback, winning a fiercely contested fourth set 7-6 and effortlessly claiming the fifth set 6-1 against a mentally shattered Eubanks. Medvedev’s remarkable turnaround was fuelled by his 28 aces, which played a crucial role in his dramatic resurgence while his experience proved instrumental in forcing Eubanks to commit 10 double faults. 

In contrast, Carlos Alcaraz had a completely different experience during his quarter-final match against Holger Rune. Despite a frustrating first set, Alcaraz swiftly brushed aside his opponent in straight sets. It was the first Wimbledon men’s quarter-final match in the open era between two players younger than 21 and the 20-year-old Spaniard proved why he was World #1 as he quickly overcame a shaky start to win 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-4. While we expect the more experienced Daniil Medvedev to pose a bigger test than Rune did, Alcaraz is still favored to reach the final. Betting on Medvedev to win at least one set represents a reasonable value for money [@ 1.34](https://m.betking.com/sports/match/5433144/alcaraz-carlos-medvedev-daniil), however. 

This meeting between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev will mark their third encounter, with their head-to-head record currently tied 1-1. Notably, Alcaraz emerged victorious in their most recent meeting, defeating Medvedev in straight sets (6-3, 6-2) in the final of this season’s BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Given Alcaraz’s status as the world number one, it comes as no surprise that we consider him the betting favorite to advance to the Wimbledon finals. 

It is worth mentioning that Alcaraz is not renowned for his aces, having recorded just 25 in his last four games, averaging 6.25 per game. In contrast, Medvedev has amassed double the number of aces within the same timeframe, accumulating 50, with an average of 12.5 per game. The Over/Under for each player’s aces is set relatively low, with Alcaraz’s at 4.5 and Medvedev’s at 9.5. We believe betting the “over” for either player is worth a calculated risk.

**Men’s Semi-Final 2: Jannik Sinner (8) vs. Novak Djokovic (1)** 

Novak Djokovic’s 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 win over Andrey Rublev extended his remarkable unbeaten streak on Centre Court to an impressive 44 consecutive matches. It has been over a decade, precisely 3,656 days since the Serbian tennis icon last suffered a defeat on grass. The Serb condemned Andrey Rublev to yet another Grand Slam Quarter-Final loss, making him the first ever player to lose his first eight Grand Slam Quarter-Finals. 

With the win, Djokovic has set up a semi-final match against Jannik Sinner, whom he faced in last year’s quarter-final. In that encounter, Sinner took the first two sets, but Djokovic showcased his durability and tenacity, eventually triumphing over the Italian in a gruelling five-set battle. Notably, this match proved to be Djokovic’s toughest of the tournament, yet he claimed the championship title, securing his fourth consecutive Wimbledon victory and seventh overall. 

While we firmly believe that Djokovic is the superior player and will ultimately emerge victorious, though we expect Sinner to put up a tough fight and potentially take at least one set from the Serbian. Set at 3.25, Djokovic to win 3-1 is the best odds among all online betting sites and we believe it is an offer worth taking.  

Sinner has had a brilliant season so far and the 21-year-old Italian’s 37-10 record has seen him surge up the rankings, where he currently sits at #8 in the world. This season, he’s picked up a title in Mallorca while finishing as runner-up in Rotterdam and Miami. Speaking before the game, he seemed prepared for the task that lay ahead: **“It’s going to be a completely different match than last year,”** he said. **“He knows me better, as I know him better also. It’s going to be also a little bit tactical. In the other way, it is also a little bit mental. If you play against Novak, it’s always tough to play–especially in Grand Slams.”** 

While Djokovic is heavily favoured, he would be wise to be wary, due to his performances this week. In the opening week, he defeated Pedro Cachin, Jordan Thompson, and Stan Wawrinka; all in straight sets. Against Hubert Hurkacz (Round of 16), he claimed a hard fought 7-6, 7-6, 5-7, 6-4 victory. Similarly, against Andrey Rublev, Djokovic dropped the opening set before staging a comeback.  

Also worth noting is that Novak Djokovic is averaging 10.5 aces per match over his last four wins while that figure is 12.5 for Jannik Sinner. At a combined average of 23 aces per match for the pair, a punt on **Over on Total Aces set at 18.5** is worth a shot. With a 1.89 value, it is a chance to almost double your stake and is one of the best odds today.  
**Bet of the Day**: We believe Novak Djokovic has a strong chance of winning the semi-final and ultimately clinching the overall tournament. If he achieves this feat, he will match Roger Federer’s Open Era record of winning 5 Wimbledon titles in a row, as well as securing his 8th Wimbledon title overall.

**Women’s Semi-Final 1: Elina Svitolina vs. Markéta Vondroušová**

At 2.08, Elina Svitolina is a slight underdog in this semi-final but as her 7-5, 6-7, 6-2 upset win over World #1 Iga Świątek showed, she well equipped to overcome the odds. Having defeated three former Grand Slam champions - Venus Williams, Sofia Kenin and Świątek - she has her sights firmly set on reaching the first Grand Slam finals of her career. What makes Svitolina’s impressive tournament run even more remarkable is the fact that she gave birth to her daughter, Skaï, 9 months ago and returned to the women’s tour just 3 months ago. 

Although Markéta Vondroušová’s story may not evoke the same emotions as Svitolina’s, she is also making an incredibly impressive run of her own. Despite being unseeded, Vondroušová eliminated World #4 Jessica Pegula with a  6-4, 2-6, 6-4 win, although she faced some perilous moments when she trailed 4-1 in the third set. In fact, she has become only the third unseeded player in the Open Era to reach the women’s finals by defeating four seeded players: Veronika Kudermetova (#12), Donna Vekic (#20), Marie Bouzkova (#32), and, of course, Pegula. 

Both women may have defied the odds to get here, but, having picked up medals in the Tokyo Olympics (Svitolina won a bronze medal while Vondroušová won silver), their talents are clear. In their head-to-head meetings, Vondroušová trails 2-3, although she has emerged victorious in their last two encounters, including the semi-final of the Tokyo Olympics. It is challenging to separate these two underdogs, but we believe there is betting value in predicting the number of sets. We expect a closely contested match, with the eventual winner prevailing in a thrilling three-set battle. 

**Betting Tips:** 

Number of Sets - 3: 

Boosted Odds:  Elina Svitolina to win at least One Set (Yes) 

**Women’s Semi-Final 2: Ons Jabeur (6) vs. Aryna Sabalenka (2)** 

The upcoming match between Ons Jabeur and Aryna Sabalenka has the potential to be one of the most thrilling semi-final encounters in Wimbledon history. Jabeur, who experienced a heart-breaking loss in last year’s Wimbledon final against Elena Rybakina, had her sweet revenge by defeating her in the quarter-finals with an impressive 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-1 victory. Judging by her form so far, the Tunisian player is determined to make her mark by going the distance this year.  

Aryna Sabalenka has been in sensational form in Grand Slams this year, reaching the semi-finals of the French Open and winning the Australian Open. Her exceptional performance has made her the first player since Serena Williams in 2016 to reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon in the same year. Because of her outstanding achievements, we consider Sabalenka the favorite in this match with odds set at 1.66; a betting offer with value for money having already been boosted.  

Sabalenka boasts an impressive 12-1 record in 2023 slams to Jabeur’s 5-2, though Jabeur has been the best player on grass post-pandemic, with 27 wins in three years. In their head-to-head encounters, Jabeur secured victory in their very first meeting. However, Sabalenka responded strongly by winning three consecutive matches in 2021 at Abu Dhabi, the 2021 Wimbledon quarterfinals, and the 2022 WTA Finals in Fort Worth. 

Ons Jabeur has showed her prowess on grass with an impressive record of 8 wins in her last 9 matches and she will not be an easy opponent to overcome. However, it is difficult to disregard Aryna Sabalenka’s, who has been ruthless with opponents this season. Given her relentless nature, we expect Sabalenka to establish control in the match by winning the first set and ultimately securing victory. 

**Betting Tips:**  

Boosted Odds: Aryna Sabalenka to Win  

Set 1 Winner - Aryna Sabalenka
