CARLOS ALCARAZ overcame Taylor Fritz in four sets today to reach another Wimbledon final and move a step closer to a third consecutive title.

The two-time defending champion ousted American fifth seed Fritz 6-4 5-7 6-3 7-6 (6) in two hours and 49 minutes on another sweltering day on Centre Court.

He will fancy his chances of completing a “three-peat” as well, having won all five of the grand slam finals he has contested.

The 22-year-old is now on a 24-match winning streak, and also took his scarily impressive career record on grass to 35 wins from 38 matches.

Unlike during the earlier rounds, Alcaraz came flying out of the blocks with a break in the first game.

He raced through the first set as if had somewhere else to be, dropping just four points on serve — and none behind his first serve — in just 35 minutes.

An hour and a quarter had passed — as well as two interruptions for spectators struggling in the heat — before Fritz got so much as a look at a break point.

But at 6-5 Alcaraz had one of his occasional lapses in concentration, a double fault handing Fritz three set points, and one long forehand later the match was level.

After a lengthy changeover Alcaraz got back to business, drawing Fritz into the net before lobbing him for an early break.

This time he dropped just one point on serve all set and broke Fritz again to edge back ahead with exactly two hours on the clock.

The fourth went with serve — including a four-ace game from Fritz — and rumbled into a tie-break.

A sizzling Fritz backhand winner helped him bring up two set points, but Alcaraz nerveless saw both off and then converted his first match point to roar into a sixth grand slam final.
