  Wimbledon 2023 Live: Who faces who in the semi-final?

  Ons Jabeur faces Aryna Sabalenka in the women's singles. Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev faces Carlos Alcaraz in men's singles. India's Rohan Bopanna now faces a tough challenge in his quest to win the title on what could be his last Wimbledon. He and men's double partner Matthew Ebden top seeds face Wesley Koolhof of Denmark and Neal Skupski of the UK. That's it from her for Day 10 of the 2023 Wimbledon and it saw one singles defending champion being knocked out. As things are going though, seeing the other, who doesn't really need to be named, go about his business, it is likely that we might not see the male counterpart of Rybakina going out in the semi-finals at least.

  Wimbledon Day 10 Live Updates: Alcaraz beats Rune 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-4

  Rune went down swinging. Alcaraz pretty much wasted a match point with a double fault while trying for that big ace after which Rune won another point with a good backhand winer. Alcaraz then he hit a cross-court forehand wide and it comes to 40-30. But the Spaniard prevails in the end and he will face Daniil Medvedev in the final.

  Daniil Medvedev is yet to play on Centre Court this season and when it looked possible after his round of 16 victory, the Russian wasn't exactly thrilled about the prospect. "…I never lost on this court, so I feel sorry that probably quarters I’m going to play on Centre. I’m like, ‘Can I just continue here?’ I love it, I never lost so far here.” Well, when the order of play did come out, it turned out that Medvedev got what he wished for.
