Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz have both advanced to the men’s semifinals at Wimbledon following decisive quarterfinal victories. Alcaraz defended his crown with a composed 6‑2, 6‑3, 6‑3 win over Britain’s Cameron Norrie, becoming only the second active man to reach three Wimbledon semis, joining Novak Djokovic. He now awaits Fritz, who reached his first Wimbledon semifinal after defeating Karen Khachanov 6‑3, 6‑4, 1‑6, 7‑6 (4), despite a momentary glitch when a faulty electronic line-calling system forced a replayed point.
The next stage of the draw brings a blockbuster matchup today as defending champion Alcaraz faces Fritz for a place in the final. The other men’s semifinal line‑up would feature the winner of the quarter-final tie between Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli, going against the winner of Jannik Sinner versus Ben Shelton, both set to be played today.
With momentum on Alcaraz’s side and Fritz riding his best grass season yet, both matches promise high drama on the Court.
Meanwhile in the women’s draw world number one Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova punched their tickets to the semis, and intriguing contests lie ahead on both sides of the net.
