Press to jump

  1. 1:05Alcaraz earns an early break, with his coaching box cheering him on.
  2. 2:40A subtle drop shot brings Medvedev forward before Alcaraz finishes with an angled volley.
  3. 3:40Alcaraz breaks again to establish a lead in the second set.
  4. 4:10An exhausting baseline exchange stretches to forty shots.
  5. 5:22The match's decisive point arrives, followed by the handshake at the net.

Forty shots into a baseline exchange, Daniil Medvedev finally sends the ball astray. Carlos Alcaraz has stayed with him throughout, but endurance is only one part of the game he brings to this Vienna semi-final.

Tennis TV's highlights move between those demanding rallies and much softer touches. Early in the second set, Alcaraz draws Medvedev forward with a drop shot, then finds an angled volley winner. "Oh, that's clever. He's mixing it up beautifully," says the commentator.

The upload has drawn nearly 677,000 views since yesterday. It follows Alcaraz's meeting with Tommy Paul, which we covered as we reported here, but this time the reward is a place in his first Vienna final. Medvedev, the tournament's 2022 champion, stands in his way.

Alcaraz breaks early and takes the opening set, then establishes another lead in the second. The compact edit gives room to both his attacking combinations and the extended exchanges that make earning each opening hard work.

In the comments, viewers pick apart the disguise on his sliced shots and return to a recurring subject: his willingness to take a set into a tiebreak. Several focus specifically on his play in the closing stages rather than simply the result.

After the handshake, the competitive afternoon ends on a warmer note. The commentator catches Medvedev wishing Alcaraz good luck in the final.
