Carlos Alcaraz’s coach, Juan Ferrero, has expressed optimism ahead of the Wimbledon 2024 semifinal between his player and Danlil Medvedev scheduled to hold Friday, July 11, saying the game would be approached with utmost concern.
Ferrero, who shared insights of Alcaraz’s preparation ahead of the clash, stressed that his player is unperturbed about the chances of his player winning the title but focused on the game.
Alcaraz, a three-time major champion prepares for his clash with Daniil Medvedev which will be his second straight Wimbledon semi-final and his sixth in a major.
Ferrero, who has coached the No. 3 in the PIF ATP Rankings for a number of years, is in no doubt about what those numbers mean and he is asking for prudence as Alcaraz bids to defend his Wimbledon title.
“He’s feeling very good. He’s grown into it against tough players. Frances Tiafoe and Tommy Paul are difficult. He feels good and he’s managed to solve the problems that he’s faced, but now we’re very focused on the match with Medvedev, not thinking about the title,” Ferrero told ATP Tour.
“We can’t think much beyond Friday because that would be a mistake. Medvedev has earned the respect of all the players. So we’re approaching it with the utmost concern.”
