Carlos Alcaraz storms into last four with win over Norrie
Carlos Alcaraz dominated Cameron Norrie in straight sets to reach the Wimbledon semifinals, extending his winning streak to 23 matches. He will face Taylor Fritz for a place in the final
London: Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz reached the Wimbledon semifinals by beating Cameron Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 on Tuesday.
Alcaraz extended his winning streak to 23 matches and became just the second Spanish player in history to reach the men’s singles semifinals at Wimbledon on three occasions — the other being Rafael Nadal.
After Norrie held serve to open the match on Centre Court, the second-seeded Alcaraz took control by rattling off the next five games against the left-handed Briton.
Alcaraz never let Norrie into the match — facing only five break points and saving all of them. He compiled 39 winners and 13 aces to go with 26 unforced errors.
“To be able to play another semifinal here at Wimbledon is super special,” Alcaraz said in an on-court interview after finishing off the quarterfinal match in 1 hour, 39 minutes.
Alcaraz will face No. 5 seed Taylor Fritz for a spot in the final.
