💥 Alcaraz breaks Fritz in the opening game
Fritz* 0-2 Alcaraz (* denotes next server)
It’s an ominous start for Alcaraz here at the All England Club, as the Spanish second seed breaks Fritz in the opening game of the match.
The second seed got a bit of luck (not that he needs it) thanks to a net cord, but Alcaraz is already making the ball sing.
He consolidates the break with a hold to love and take an early 2-0 lead.
🎾 Fritz vs Alcaraz men’s semifinal – players on court
Taylor Fritz and Carlos Alcaraz have made their way out onto Center Court for their semifinal and are going through their warm-ups.
It’s a picture-perfect scene, with a packed house trying to keep cool as best they can on a day where the mercury is set to hit 32C on a sweltering day at SW19.
Alcaraz has won the two previous meetings between the players at the Masters 1000 Miami in 2023 and the 2024 Laver Cup, but can fifth seed Fritz and his cannon of a serve produce what would be the upset of the tournament.
Fritz won grass court tournaments at Stuttgart and Eastbourne, so has pedigree on this surface, but two-time defending champion Alcaraz is on a 23-match winning run in 2025.
