Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz produced a Wimbledon masterclass to end British hope Cameron Norrie’s run and move into the semi-finals once again.
Second seed Alcaraz underlined why he is the tournament favourite with a scintillating 6-2 6-3 6-3 win.
The Spaniard will face Taylor Fritz – the American fifth seed bidding for a first major title – in the last four.
Fritz secured his place in the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time with a 6-3 6-4 1-6 7-6 (7-4) victory over Russia’s Karen Khachanov.
Alcaraz is seeded behind Italian rival Jannik Sinner because of their respective world rankings, but his superior record on grass courts – and current hot streak – makes him the man to beat.
Victory over Norrie was a 23rd win in a row for Alcaraz, who is bidding to become the fifth man to win three successive Wimbledon titles in the Open era.
“I’m really happy – to play another Wimbledon semi-final is super special,” said Alcaraz, who secured victory in one hour and 39 minutes.
