German books spot in last four with 6-1, 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-4 winDaniil Medvedev also scrapped his way into the semi-finals
In these first few years of his young career, Carlos Alcaraz has relished making the impossible seem routine. He has performed at such a high level so consistently, learned from his mistakes at warp speed, and even when he has struggled, so often he has found solutions.
For once, he could not find a way. Despite a spirited comeback at the death, a pitiful start from the second seed left him with far too much to do against a stellar Alexander Zverev who maintained a high level across four sets, producing one of his best grand slam performances to win 6-1, 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-4 and reach the semi-final of the Australian Open.
