The men’s semi-finals take center stage at Wimbledon on Friday, with the second clash seeing Italian star Lorenzo Musetti take on Novak Djokovic. A place in the final against either Carlos Alcaraz or Daniil Medvedev will be the reward for the victor on Centre Court.
Before Betting On Lorenzo Musetti vs Novak Djokovic
Lorenzo Musetti will be competing in his first Grand Slam semi-final this week after enjoying a memorable run at Wimbledon in 2024. The Italian star is currently sitting at a career-best ranking, and he has already beaten his best showing at a major, which was achieved at the French Open when reaching the fourth round in 2023.
Musetti was the outsider in the betting for his semi-final clash on Wednesday, but he battled back from a set down to outlast American player Taylor Fritz. The 22-year-old is yet to win straight sets at the Championships this summer, and that fitness edge could be vitally important against his Serbian rival this week.
Novak Djokovic will make history when he steps out onto Centre Court on Friday, as he breaks the record for the most semi-final appearances at Wimbledon. The Serbian could yet break the record for the most titles at SW 19 if he is to land a 25th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon this year.
Djokovic will come into this semi-final well rested after receiving a walkover in the quarterfinal stage following an injury sustained by Alex de Minaur. That extra rest could be important for the second seed, as it will give him extra time to recover following his straight sets success over Holger Rune on Monday.

Unsurprisingly, Djokovic will be the clear favorite in the betting for this semi-final showdown on Friday. Musetti has performed excellently to reach this stage, but we could see his journey coming to an end at the hands of the Serbian this week.
