Wimbledon – Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz dug deep to overcome a determined Taylor Fritz on Friday, securing a place in his third consecutive Wimbledon final with a hard-fought 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(6) victory on Centre Court.
Under the blazing sun, the Spanish star rediscovered his top form when it mattered most, fending off the American’s relentless baseline play and massive serves. While Fritz managed to snatch the second set—his only breakthrough of the match—Alcaraz quickly reasserted his dominance, breaking twice in the third and holding his nerve in a tense fourth-set tiebreak.
Now eyeing his sixth Grand Slam title, the 21-year-old will face either world No. 1 Jannik Sinner or 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic in a blockbuster final.
Despite Fritz’s consistency and power, it wasn’t enough to derail the second seed, who lifted his game in the clutch moments and once again proved why he remains one of the sport’s most electrifying talents.
