Alexander Zverev dominated Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 on Court One to reach his first Wimbledon semi-final. The victory snapped Zverev's seven-match losing streak against Fritz and improved his head-to-head record to 10-5. Fritz, hampered by a knee injury, struggled throughout the match, calling for a physio in the second set.

Zverev, the second seed, secured the win in just under two hours, marking his first victory over Fritz in over two years. This marks a significant moment for Zverev, who is now two wins away from a second Grand Slam title this year, following his French Open triumph.

He will face British wildcard Arthur Fery in the semi-finals. Fritz expressed disappointment, stating he couldn't compete at his best due to the knee issue. Despite the injury, Fritz had reached the finals of grass-court events in Stuttgart and Halle leading up to Wimbledon.
