Quarter-final without history, the reigning champion overwhelms the British 6-2 6-3 6-3 in an hour and 39 minutes
Phenomenon level: unlocked. Carlos Alcaraz overwhelms Cameron Norrie to earn the 3rd consecutive Wimbledon semifinal, a dominant 6-2 6-3 in an hour and 39 minutes which represents his best match in this edition of the Slam on the grass he has conquered in the last two years. It is his 23rd victory in a row, the 16th on the surface of the All England Club, which is not the favorite of the number 2 in the world but the one where he is touching peaks that no one else can reach. Against Norrie, the only non -head of the quarter -headed and the one lower in the ATP ranking (he began the 61st tournament), Alcaraz has finally inserted that phenomenon level that led him to win the last two Wimbledon, that unjustable mode that now frightens Taylor Fritz, an opponent on Friday in the semifinal, and anyone who wants to try to tear the throne of the King of the ALL ENGLAND.

Alcaraz so dominant this year in Wimbledon had not yet been seen. Safe in the service (13 ace), devastating with the first (72% of the first inside, 89% of points won with the first), almost never approximate in the blows and always in control of the game. Norrie, the first British in this century to reach the quarters of the Slam on the grass not the series not, has never understood us anything, transforming itself into the first opponent that the impregnable Spanish has defeated in less than two hours in this edition of the tournament. His unparalleled at the All England Club has reached 19 games, he equaled Manuel Santana in second place among the Spaniards for Slam semifinals (8, the record obviously is Nadal with 38), has reached 23 wins in 25 games in Wimbledon and his career record on the grass now says 34 victories in 37 matches: not bad for one who says he still prefers the red earth. Above all, Alcaraz in this game has completed his transformation into a phenomenon, the one that accompanied him to the two previous winning riders in Wimbledon. The uncertainties of the first 4 games, where however he had touched a level that probably only Jannik Sinner and perhaps Novak Djokovic can arrive, gave way to the continuity and safety of his best matches. And at that stratospheric level that have meant that for 3 years (the last to beat him, in the eighth 2022 it was Sinner), nobody can win against him on the grass of Wimbledon. Fritz, with whom Alcaraz won two out of two games, is notified.

Alcaraz has to save 4 break balls in his first round in the beat, but winning that game that began under 0-40 he kicks off a domain that leads him to win the 5 next games and close the first set 6-2 in 28 ‘with his service at the phenomenon level for the first time in the tournament (5 ace, but above all 80% of the first balls inside and 85% of points won with the first service). Carlitos continues to dominate and tear the service in Norrie to the third game of the second set, the prologue to close on 6-3. Alcaraz continues to dominate and with the break of the sixth game extends on 4-2, then closing his most beautiful game of the year with another 6-3 on the Wimbledon plant.
