The world No 3 Carlos Alcaraz recovered for a 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory and, like in 2023, will play Daniil Medvedev in the last four
has been compared to Rafael Nadal; for his tenacity, shot-making and attitude. On Tuesday, the Spaniard not only kept alive his hopes of a second straight Wimbledon title, he also showed that he shares another trait with his fellow countryman.
“He has been playing great tennis on grass, he won Queen’s, he’s been doing great stuff and today was a really difficult match for me,” Alcaraz said. “The first set and the beginning of the second set it was kind of like I was playing on clay, big rallies, 10 or 15 shots every rally. I had to stay strong mentally but I knew it was a really long journey and a really long match and I’m happy I was able to find the solutions.
Alcaraz broke first for 2-1 but Paul broke straight back and the rest of the first set was brutal, both men pulling the other all over the court, their athleticism tested to the limit. The 12th seed saved a string of break points and then snatched his chance, gaining the vital break in the 12th game to move ahead.
