Poor start from Cam; down 2-5 after just holding his serve. Alcaraz is a double break up and serving for the first set.
Alcaraz wins 6'2, 6'3, 6'3.
No contest really, the Spaniard absolutely turned up the pace.
Norrie couldn't find his serve or form that he displayed so well 2 days ago.
A pity for Cameron but he was up against it today and Carlos definitely stepped up! Alcaraz seemed to gain the momentum after saving 4 bp's early on and Norrie could not quite find the form to really challenge him. The time on court was likely a factor, still a good run for Cameron! Fritz having a good tournament but think he will need another gear for the semi.
Laura Siegmund certainly gave Sabalenka a bit of a scare, twice a break up in the 3rd but the word no1 recovered to win 4-6,6-2,6-4, a bit of a missed opportunity though and Aryna will now play Anismova.
Cash/Glasspool win the 3 Brit quarter, but unfortunately Joe and Neal lost so we won't have an all British semi. Instead they will play Granollers/Zeballos.
Semis are set!
Tomorrow, Sabalenka plays Anisimova and then Bencic plays Swiatek.
On Friday, it's Fritz v. Alcaraz and Sinner v. Djokovic.
Not too much trouble for Sinner today, outplayed shelton in straight sets (first set breaker may have been important) A bit of a challenge for Djokovic but Cobolli could not do enough, a bit of a bad tumble near the end mind you as Novak took it 6-4 in the 4th. Maybe a bit of a surprise that Bencic got the better of Andreeva in two breakers,a bit more resistance in the 2nd but Samsonova could not stop Swiatek also reaching her first Wimbledon semi.
Stell - Taylor Fritz has NOT announced his retirement so I have deleted your post.
It's Tim Van Rijthoven who has said he's retiring from playing tennis.
Jordan Thompson retired against Fritz in the R16.
Sorry, it wasn't Taylor Fritz who announced his retirement. It was Tim van Rijthoven, who beat Taylor Fritz in 2022, has announced his retirement.
Womens final will be Swiatek v. Anisimova.
