WimbledonExclusive: Alcaraz hopes Medvedev will feel nerves playing on Centre Court in semi-final4 HOURS AGO “The thing is that I always loved Wimbledon, less the grass,” Medvedev said. “I probably have never felt [as good] on grass as I'm feeling these two weeks. “I put a lot of pressure on myself before the tournament, which I usually try to not do.

“But this time I was like, OK, the last maybe six Grand Slams or something were not what I wanted. I’ve had some better results. “Wimbledon was never, never my tournament.

I was like, 'I want to try to prove to myself that I know that I'm such a good player'. “I want to try to prove to myself I can do well here [and] so far it's been working, but now I want more.” Medvedev faces a daunting task to reach the final, with top seed and world No. 1 Alcaraz standing in his way.
