Moving within one victory of a third consecutive Wimbledon championship at age 22, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz in the semifinals.

The 22-year drought for American men in the grand slams will continue. No. 5 seed Taylor Fritz could not topple the defending two-time champion on Friday, as No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz took down the top man from the United States in four sets, 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (6), to advance to his third straight Wimbledon final .
