In just 1 hour and 39 minutes at the All England Club Center, Alcaraz showed his complete superiority. He successfully took advantage of 6 break opportunities and did not miss any serve game throughout the match. The Spaniard became only the second person in the modern era, after Novak Djokovic, to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals at least three times before turning 23.
Although he reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, Norrie was not strong enough to make it difficult for Alcaraz in this reunion. The world No. 2 has shown excellent ability to score with 14 wins from 16 overlaps and a superior number of wins, with 39 - 3 times more than Norrie (13).
Continuing his strong delivery performance from the fourth round with 22 ace, Alcaraz continued to have 12 more direct serve and won 89% of the first serve (50/56).
In the semi-finals, Alcaraz will face Taylor Fritz, the number 5 seed, who just defeated Karen Khachanov with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 in an emotional match.
Also on July 8, the quarter-finals of the women's singles event determined the first 2 semi-final spots. Aryna Sabalenka came from behind to beat Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, while Amanda Anisimova beat Anatasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-1, 7-6.
The remaining quarter-finals taking place today (July 9.9) will see Novak Djokovic meet Flavio Cobolli, Jannik Sinner face Ben Shelton (men's singles), and in the women's singles event, Mirra Andreeva will face Belinda Bencic, and Iga Swiatek meet Liudmila Samsonova.
