Taylor Fritz is still awaiting his first win over Carlos Alcaraz, and the American didn't hold back from snubbing the Spaniard once before.

Alcaraz, threatening to dominate Wimbledon in much the same way as predecessors Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Djokovic, continues his title defence with an intriguing semi-final against big-serving Fritz.

Alcaraz is establishing a Grand Slam pattern which spells danger for the rest of the field: get him early, or risk not getting him at all.
