Reigning Wimbledon champion Alcaraz made short work of Zverev as he clinched a 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win in straight sets and advanced to the semifinal, where he will face Russia’s Daniil Medvedev.

Medvedev reached the last four by beating Andrey Rublev 6-4 6-3 6-4 in stifling heat. Third seed Medvedev, the 2021 US Open winner, rallied from a break down in all three sets as he condemned world number eight Rublev to a ninth straight Grand Slam quarter-final loss.

Coincidentally, last year, Dhoni attended a match featuring Alcaraz in the U.S. Open, where the Spaniard staged a terrific comeback against Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinal. Alcaraz went on to win the title, beating Norway’s Casper Ruud in the final.
