I'm really happy. To play another Wimbledon semi-final is super special: Carlos Alcaraz
The reigning two-time Wimbledon champion is now just two matches away from a historic three peat at the third Grand Slam of the year, and arguably the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world. After disposing off Cameron Norrie, Carlos Alcaraz is set to take on the fifth seed Taylor Fritz of the USA in the semi-finals of the tournament on Friday, July 11, which is expected to be a mouthwatering clash.
Taylor Fritz had defeated Russian Karen Khachanov in four sets 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(7-4), to make the final four of Wimbledon, and he is pursuing his first-ever Grand Slam title. As far as Carlos Alcaraz is concerned, the Spaniard has already won five Grand Slam titles, and he is tipped to win many more over the next decade or so, especially alongside world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, who is top seed at Wimbledon this year.
In his post-match interview after defeating Cameron Norrie, Carlos Alcaraz was quoted as saying, as per BBC Sport, “I'm really happy. To play another Wimbledon semi-final is super special. My confidence is really high, I'm feeling great. It was my best match so far in the tournament.”
