Carlos Alcaraz will face a stiff test against 2021 US Open champion and fifth seed Danil Medvedev in the first semi-final -- a repeat of last year's semi-final. Alcaraz stormed past Medvedev, beating the Russian in straight sets while dropping only 9 games. However, Alcaraz of wary of a rejuvenated Medvedev, who is high on confidence afrer having beaten World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals this year.
Medvedev avenged his Wimbledon defeat to Alcaraz last year by beating the Spaniard in the semi-final of the US Open. However, the Russian lost their only meeting of 2024 in the final of the Indian Wells Masters on hard court.
Alcaraz has been made to work hard in Wimbledon 2024. The defending champion overcame a five-setter against Frances Tiafoe in the third round before playing out four-setters against Ugo Humbert and Tommy Paul.
On the other hand, Novak Djokovic, who is yet to reach a final in 2024, will be keen on making the most of the extra day's break he got after his quarter-final opponent Alex de Minaur withdrew due to injury. Musetti, on the other hand, is heading into the match on the back of a sensational five-set marathon against Taylor Fritz.
Musetti will be playing in his first Grand Slam semi-final and the lack of experience might work against him. However, the 22-year-old Italian has the tools and a varied skillset to trouble Djokovic if the Serb is not at his best.
Djokovic seems to have completely recovered from the knee injury that he was dealing with earlier this season and the extra day's rest must spur him on against Musetti. It will also be interesting to see his equation with the crowd after the sensational rant earlier this week.

Djokovic and Musetti have met each other on the tour six times with the Serb winning five of them. Musetti's only win came in Monte Carlo on clay last year.
WIMBLEDON SEMIFINAL PREDICTION: WHO WILL WIN?
Daniil Medvedev has the tools to trouble Carlos Alcaraz, but the Spaniard is likely to win the first semi-final in four sets. Alcaraz will be keen on extending his title run and give himself another shot at glory.
Novak Djokovic, who is well rested, is likely to beat Lorenzo Musetti in straight sets or four sets.
Three of the top five seeds in the Wimbledon men's singles draw advanced to Friday's semifinals.
No. 2 seed Novak Djokovic, No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 5 seed Daniil Medvedev are all regulars at this juncture of Grand Slam tournaments.
No. 25 seed Lorenzo Musetti is the semifinal newcomer of the Wimbledon quartet. He entered London with no wins past the fourth round at any major.
Alcaraz and Medvedev square off in the marquee semifinal contest. Medvedev will likely be involved in another epic match after he knocked out top seed Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals.
Djokovic is well rested since he advanced to the semifinals by way of a walkover due to Alex De Minaur's injury.
A fresh Djokovic is the last thing Musetti wanted to see in his first Grand Slam semifinal, where he will be a significant underdog.
The men's semifinals begin at 8 a.m. ET on Friday and can be viewed on ESPN and streamed on ESPN+.
No. 2 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 25 Lorenzo Musetti
Djokovic carries an edge in every category for his matchup with Musetti.
Djokovic is the far more experienced player at this stage of a Grand Slam, will have two extra days of rest and owns a 5-1 head-to-head advantage over the Italian.
The expectation is that Djokovic will run through the semifinal as fast as possible so that he can save energy for what should be a battle with either Alcaraz or Medvedev in Sunday's championship match.
Musetti won two sets off Djokovic at Roland Garros this season, but he faltered in the final two sets by only winning three points.
The No. 25 seed has either gone four or five sets in all of his matches at Wimbledon. That could play a big factor in how he fares against Djokovic as the match goes on.
Djokovic has lost two sets in London, but he is coming off his most impressive performance of the tournament, a straight-set round of 16 win over No. 15 seed Holger Rune.
