This is their fourth straight Grand Slam semifinals. The Wimbledon champion will also see them, on Friday, along with the Russian Daniel Medvedev, who will reign at the US Open in 2022 but has suffered greatly on this course with the Murcian. He was overwhelmed in the final of Indian Wells, 6-3 and 6-2, as well as in the ‘semis’ of Wimbledon, 6-3, 6-3 and 6-3.

“One day a player will die, they will see it,” Medvedev complained about the extreme conditions due to the heat and humidity, midway through the game he beat his compatriot. Andrei Rublev by 6-4, 6-3 and 6-4.

At 30ºC and humidity of 55%, Alcaraz played with the same freshness and determination as on a cold and rainy day. Once it has a target, it attacks without hindrance. There are no excuses.

The beginning is amazing because Zverev showed his recovery. The Teutonic tightened the rope, the Spaniard worried, establishing differences by growing in the face of adversity. At 3-3 he had two ‘break’ balls against, and he traced them back.

At halftime he was with the chair umpire, the Greek Eva Asderakisaying that he gives more time between point and point because he has to dry off the sweat, that he didn’t start the countdown 25″ soon enough.

Covering all fronts. He went straight out of break for Zverev, who accused the pressure dictated by the Murcian in his second service. He lowered the percentage of the first, his teeth sunk Alcaraz for 5-3 A cannibal that never let go of prey.

He closed out the first set with eight consecutive points. He accelerated and was amazed by his total tennis in the second set. A festival that ends in a monologue because only he can do that.

Using 6-3, 6-2, Zverev he went to the locker room for treatment. He felt lead in his legs, from the five hours of the previous round with Jannik Sinner, but mainly because of the necessity imposed by Alcaraz.

The one from El Palmar sighed. What’s needed. A 30-40, let it go. A 15-40, serve and then a forehand that echoes through the stadium with such power. In every delicate moment, a solution.

He beat Zverev, annihilating him by showing an unapproachable game at that point. Amazing Carlos Alcaraz in his 58th win of the year. He won 24 of his last Grand Slam events. Remaining. Convincing.
