Taylor Fritz was a clear underdog against Carlos Alcaraz in the first semifinal of the Wimbledon Championships, considering that he had never won a single set against the Spanish champion in previous clashes.

Taylor Fritz has finally broken through at Wimbledon, defeating Karen Khachanov in four sets to reach his first semi-final at the All England Club. The American number one secured a 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) victory after overcoming a dramatic mid-match collapse.

The 27-year-old beat the Russian 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7-4) to reach the last four and keep his quest alive to become the first American man to win tennis' oldest major tournament in 25 years — Pete Sampras last lifting the SW19 trophy.

Wimbledon is braced for the women's final today with either Iga Swiatek or Amanda Anisimova to be crowned women's singles champion for the first time. Anisimova defeated Aryna Sabalenka in a highly-charged semi-final On Friday.

The American was ready to keep rolling Monday night at Wimbledon — even though his opponent apparently was not.

Taylor Fritz achieved his best-ever performance at Wimbledon by defeating Karen Khachanov, reaching the semifinals for the first time with a hard-fought 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(4) victory.
