Carlos Alcaraz has added another remarkable milestone to his growing legacy by reaching his third consecutive Wimbledon semifinal at just 22 years and 56 days old. This achievement places him behind only Björn Borg and Rafael Nadal, who both accomplished the feat at 22 years and 20 days, making Alcaraz the third-youngest man in the Open Era to do so.
A dominant run through the draw
Alcaraz’s path to the semifinals has been commanding. In the quarterfinals, he dispatched British hopeful Cameron Norrie in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, 6-3, in just under 100 minutes. He saved all five break points he faced and hit 39 winners, including 13 aces. This victory extended his winning streak to 23 matches, the longest of his career, and solidified his status as the tournament favorite.
Following in the footsteps of legends
By reaching three consecutive semifinals at the All England Club, Alcaraz joins an elite group. Only Borg (1976–1978) and Nadal (2006–2008) were younger when they achieved the same feat. Both players went on to win multiple Wimbledon titles, and Alcaraz is now on track to follow a similar trajectory. His blend of power, finesse, and mental resilience has drawn comparisons to both legends.
A shot at history
Alcaraz is not just chasing another Wimbledon title—he’s also aiming to complete the rare French Open–Wimbledon double for the second straight year. Only Borg and Nadal have managed that in the Open Era. With his recent Roland Garros triumph and a Queen’s Club title already under his belt this season, Alcaraz is proving to be as formidable on grass as he is on clay.
Next up: Taylor Fritz
Standing between Alcaraz and a return to the Wimbledon final is American fifth seed Taylor Fritz. The two have met twice before, with Alcaraz winning both encounters on hard courts. This will be their first meeting on grass, and Fritz arrives in strong form, having won titles in Stuttgart and Eastbourne. The semifinal promises to be a thrilling clash of styles and momentum.
Carlos Alcaraz continues to redefine what’s possible at such a young age. With each match, he not only inches closer to another Grand Slam title but also carves out a place among the sport’s all-time greats.
