World number one Carlos Alcaraz set up a blockbuster Wimbledon final against seven-time champion Novak Djokovic after sweeping aside Daniil Medvedev.

Alcaraz, 20, dominated the semi-final 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 and will on Sunday attempt to prevent Djokovic, 36, from winning a record-equalling eighth title at the All England Club and 24th career major.

Djokovic earlier defeated Jannik Sinner 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7/4) to reach his ninth Wimbledon final. “I believe I can beat Djokovic,” said Alcaraz, who lost to the Serb in the French Open semi-finals in June.

For seven games under the roof, this felt like it could be a contest, as third seed Medvedev, who, like Alcaraz, was contesting his first Wimbledon semi-final, kept pace with the top seed.
