Alcaraz played every shot with a rare combination of flawless technique and tactical mastery, eventually closing out his 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 victory with an unreturnable backhand up the line.

Carlos Alcaraz produced a masterful serving performance Friday to defeat Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (6) and advance to his third Wimbledon final in a row.

It was a serving masterclass for the Spaniard, who won all 15 of his points on first serve while hitting 12 winners to just three unforced errors.

“There’s been a pretty constant results-and-ranking rise since we’ve been together,” Fritz said, according to ABC News.

The grass-court tournament experienced record-breaking Day 1 heat when the temperature rose to 91 degrees Fahrenheit (33 degrees Celsius).
