The Wimbledon 2024 men's semifinals are upon us, and the excitement is palpable.
The prestigious grass court tournament has reached its penultimate stage, with four talented players vying for a spot in the coveted Wimbledon men's final.
As it is the last Grand Slam before the 2024 Paris Olympics, and with the record-setting prize money, the stakes are higher than ever.
As the stakes reach new heights, these tennis stars will leave it all on the court in pursuit of the iconic Wimbledon title.
The semi-finals promise to be a series of exciting matches, as only one player can lift the prestigious trophy on Sunday in London.
Will reigning champion Novak Djokovic continue his dominance, or will Carlos Alcaraz's youthful energy propel him to the final?
While we await the ultimate display of tennis excellence at the Wimbledon semi-finals, here's everything you need to know about the match, including the schedule and how to tune in.
Wimbledon 2024 Fixtures
The upcoming semi-final matchups are as follows: No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz will face off against No. 5 Daniil Medvedev, and the other semi-final will feature No. 2 Novak Djokovic taking on No. 25 Lorenzo Musetti.
Walkover In Tennis
Novak Djokovic advanced to the semifinals after his opponent, No. 9 Alex de Minaur, withdrew from the tournament due to an injury.
Walkover is a term usually used when a player withdraws before the start of the match. However, withdrawing in the middle of a match is termed retirement.
It was a nice break for the Serbian as he managed to maintain his power and strength while receiving a free ride into the final four stages.
The duo has met several times this year, and the results have been a 1-1 draw.
The break is even more important for Djokovic, who wasn't sure he would play at Wimbledon due to a meniscus tear and surgery he had after the French Open in June.

The most likely scenario is another final between Djokovic and Alcaraz, which would be a rematch of the Wimbledon final last year, though Alcaraz won against Djokovic in five sets.
Although Djokovic leads the head-to-head 3-2, the young Spaniard Alcaraz has had a stronger year overall.
Quite a lot is on the line for Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion who is looking to engrave his place in tennis history.
He hopes to tie Roger Federer for the most Wimbledon championships (eight) and capture another major title to become the all-time champion in both male and female categories.
While many of the outcomes depend on Djokovic's health, let's make a prediction about the overall match.
