Four-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz, who is gearing up to defend the French Open title later this month, fired off 24 winners in a strong performance to seal victory. “The most important thing that I did today was not thinking about the results at all.

Just trying to do the things that make me happy,” Alcaraz said after the match. “On court, just trying to play aggressive, hitting good shots, drop shots, go to the net… I played with such a high rhythm during the whole match. I didn’t let him dominate or stay long in the rallies. So I think that was a really good weapon today for me. I’m just really proud about the way that I approached the match.” With that win, Alcaraz moved through to his 11th Masters 1000 semi-final. Earlier on Wednesday, …
