Carlos Alcaraz will look to reach the summit clash at Wimbledon for the third straight year when he faces fifth-seeded American Taylor Fritz in the semifinal in London on Friday.
The clash is set to take place at Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Preview
The Alcaraz-Fritz match-up is intriguing. They may not be quintessential grass-courters – are there any left? – but they are two of the best. They have just met twice before, with both meetings taking place on a hard court. At the 2023 Miami Masters, Alcaraz won 6-4, 6-2 while at the 2024 Laver Cup in Berlin, the Spaniard triumphed with a 6-2, 7-5 scoreline.
However, they have accumulated significant grass pedigree since then. Alcaraz is a two-time defending champion at SW19 and has won Queen’s Club twice. Fritz has excelled a few rungs below, at the ATP 250 level, securing both Stuttgart and Eastbourne this year, and also Eastbourne in 2024, 2022 and 2019. A first meeting on the lawns will be exciting.
