French Open champion Alexander Zverev romped to a comprehensive victory over Taylor Fritz on Wednesday to reach his first Wimbledon semi-final, where he will face British wildcard Arthur Fery.
The second seed, who had never got past the last 16 in nine previous trips to the All England Club, snapped a seven-match losing streak against Fritz in fine style, winning 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 in only an hour and 59 minutes.
“I’m extremely happy to be in the semi-finals, especially against Taylor who I hadn’t beaten in two years,” said the German.
Zverev is only the third German man in the Open era to make the last four at all the Grand Slam tournaments, after Boris Becker and Michael Stich — Germany’s last men’s Wimbledon winner in 1991.
