🎾 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.

OH MY ACTUAL DAYS, ANDRE AGASSI IS ON COMMENTARY ON BBC iPLAYER!! Absolutely love him and he starts by calling his wife, fellow former Wimbledon champion Steffi Graf, his 'rock of Gibraltar'. Actual tears are running down my face.

Who wins? Tune in to find out, with this handy guide...

💥 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.

💪 Alcaraz maintains his first-set lead

Fritz 3-4 Alcaraz (* denotes next server)

Fritz has started to settle after that nervous start. He's held a couple of service games with some typically monstrous serving, but Alcaraz is still a break up.

Alcaraz's first serve has impressed, but he's won only one point behind his second thus far, so if Fritz can climb into a few more of those, he could do some damage.

🤝 Alcaraz wins the first set 6-4!

Fritz* 4-6 Alcaraz

Fritz saves a set point on his own serve at 3-5 by having to hit three shots that should have been winners, but Alcaraz somehow gets two back before the American finally hits beyond the Spaniard. Eventually, Fritz holds to force Carlitos to serve it out.

Alcaraz duly obliges, with six aces in a first set impressive for its ruthlessness from the second seed. It's hard to play tennis much better. He didn't drop a point behind his first serve.

Fritz barely missed a ball in those 10 games, but he's already a set down. On commentary, Agassi compares Alcaraz to an extra-terrestrial. He's not wrong.

👀 Royal Box Watch – Leonardo Di Caprio leads acting royalty

Fritz 4-3 Alcaraz *

Who's in the Royal Box for today's tennis? Thanks for asking – it's a collection of the great and good from the acting world, Leonardo Di Caprio (above) enjoying the tennis, along with fellow actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Rami Malek and James Norton.

In the sporting sphere, five-time Wimbledon champion Bjorn Borg is back, looking effortlessly cool, while legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is also in attendance.

Out on the court, it's on serve after the opening seven games of the second set at 4-3, with Fritz having just held for the fourth time. The American is trying to impart some scoreboard pressure on Alcaraz, who is serving second this set. Can Fritz get the break to sneak ahead?

🫡 Fritz trying to build pressure in the second set

Fritz 5-4 Alcaraz *

Fritz earns a break point, his first, at 3-4 on the Alcaraz serve but a trademark drop shot from the Spaniard helps him eventually hold serve. Fritz follows suit to hold and force Alcaraz to serve to stay in the second set.

The American has started to really hit through his backhand in this set and is playing super-aggressive tennis. On commentary, Agassi notes this and it's backed up the stats – 73mph average in the first set, and 76mph in the second.

Two spectators have taken ill in the crowd in the past 10 minutes, too, to give you an idea of how hot conditions are at courtside here. 🥵

👊 Fritz wins the second set 7-5 to level the match!

Fritz* 7-5 Alcaraz

Fritz is on the march as Alcaraz serves to stay in the set for the second time, and absolutely crushes a first serve back at Alcaraz's feet for 0-30. The Spaniard then double faults to give Fritz three set points, which he takes the first time of asking as Alcaraz floats a bit of a nothing forehand long. One set all!

That break happened in double-quick time to give Fritz the set. He'd done a great job at building scoreboard pressure as the set went on and just staying one step ahead by being aggressive.

So, it's one set all and we've sure got a match on our hands.

🔥 Alcaraz breaks early in the third set

Fritz* 4-6, 7-5, 1-3 Alcaraz

Alcaraz has refocused at the start of the third set and broke Fritz in the third game to love. He was seeing it like a football that game, three returns that flew back at Fritz's feet with such ferocity the American was just setting up the second seed for easy winners.

Alcaraz then backs it with a hold to love and consolidate the break to lead 3-1 early in the third set. That's 13 points in a row for the two-time defending champion.

🤏 Alcaraz one game away from the third set

Fritz* 4-6, 7-5, 3-5 Alcaraz

It's gone with serve since that Alcaraz break, with the Spaniard starting to find his rhythm again on his groundstrokes, particularly the forehand which has its pop back.

Fritz now serves to stay in the set.

😱 Alcaraz breaks again to win the third set 6-3!

Fritz 4-6, 7-5, 3-6 Alcaraz*

Alcaraz is really turning the screw now and swiftly moves to 0-30 on the Fritz serve by moving his opponent side to side. After a fine pass, Fritz then double faults to give Alcaraz two set points at 15-40.

Fritz saves the first with a bomb, but goes long with a backhand with the second as Alcaraz wins the third set.

The Spaniard is now one set from a third Wimbledon final in a row and it's hard to see a way back from here for Fritz, not least because that second break in the set means Alcaraz will serve first in the fourth.

As Agassi says on comms (I cannot get over how good he is at this), he's got to red-line it from here.

🙌 On serve halfway through the fourth set

Fritz* 4-6, 7-5, 3-6, 2-3 Alcaraz

Five games, five holds in the fourth set here. Fritz is serving well but is having to strain to hold more than Alcaraz, who has well and truly re-found his mojo.

A moment ago, the Spaniard feigned a drop shot, only to hit through the ball at the last minute for a winner. He's enjoying himself out there, alright.

Alcaraz 5-4 up, fourth set still on serve

Fritz* 4-6, 7-5, 3-6, 4-5 Alcaraz

Fritz saves a break point to hold, with impressive stones, for 3-3. Alcaraz then holds to love, then again to go 4-5 up with Fritz serving. This has been the pattern of the fourth set.

Can Alcaraz break the American cannon to end it here?

✋ Alcaraz again goes to one game away, Fritz to serve

Fritz* 4-6, 7-5, 3-6, 5-6 Alcaraz

Carlos Alcaraz has just played one of the best games you're likely to see. Crushing forehand winners, delicious drop volleys and a second serve that kicked like a bucking bronco. Tennis doesn't get much better.

Fritz now has to focus on himself, hold serve and take this to the tiebreak...

🙅 Fourth-set tiebreak

Fritz 4-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-6 Alcaraz*

Fritz sends down some bombs to hold to 30.

Yep, it's a tiebreak after a dead-even set. What wins, Fritz's serving or Alcaraz's returning and big-point mentality?

Alcaraz gets the mini-break in the tiebreaker

Fritz* 4-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-6 (1-4) Alcaraz

The pair are firing on a cylinders now and exchange early winners. Alcaraz gets the early mini-break, though, reaching a Fritz drop shot and then responding to the ensuing overhead with another winner.

Advantage Alcaraz, as a 138mph first serve takes the next point, then a serve and volley for another.

It feels Alcaraz's to lose now...

Back on serve, Alcaraz saves to set points

Fritz 4-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-6 (6-6) Alcaraz*

Fritz wins his next two service points to go to 4-3 and force Alcaraz to play his stuff. Fritz then creams a backhand down the line, over the high part of the net, to break back to 4-4.

There's absolutely no quit in Fritz, who then wins another point on the Alcaraz serve. Two serves for Fritz, he needs to win both to take the set and go to a fifth.

An unreturnable comes first, 6-4, but Alcaraz saves the first set point, on the Fritz serve no less, with a great point. Alcaraz then saves the second as Fritz goes long with a backhand.

We're level at 6-6. Incredible stuff.

💪 Alcaraz WINS to reach a third Wimbledon final in a row!

Fritz 4-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-7 (6-8) Alcaraz*

At 6-6, Alcaraz hits a huge second serve, Fritz comes into net but Alcaraz sticks a pass on the American's ankles and he nets.

Alcaraz then reinforces his defensive capabilities to drive deep and force the Fritz error. Alcaraz wins in four sets and let's out a huge VAMOS.

He was made to work hard there, but Alcaraz's depth of shot in the breaker – to save two set points – was stunning.

🤜 Alcaraz into Sunday's final

Alcaraz confirms he'll be watching as much of the other semifinal between Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic as he can ahead of Sunday's final.

When the points really mattered it was Alcaraz who proved capable of playing his best tennis, but Fritz more than played his part. That second set was about as good as he can play and not even Alcaraz could live with him.

Alcaraz extends his winning streak in 2025 to 24 in a row. Make it a quarter-century and he'll have a Wimbledon three-peat.

I'm off for a Pimms coffee and will be back for Sinner vs Djokovic in 20 minutes or so.

🎾 Sinner vs Djokovic on court

Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic have taken to a quarter-full Center Court, which is catching its breath and refilling water bottles ahead of the main course.

Sinner has won the past four encounters between the players – including at the French Open this season – but the 38-year-old has won their two matches at Wimbledon in 2022 and 2023.

It's one hell of a rivalry, so who's going to face Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday's final? Here's how to watch, so you can find out...
