Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic advance to Wimbledon semifinals

Alexander Zverev defeated Taylor Fritz with a score of 6-4, 6-4, 6-2, securing his first-ever appearance in a Wimbledon semifinal. This win makes Zverev the fifth German player in the Open Era to reach the final four at the All England Club and puts him among the few active players to have reached the semifinals of all four Grand Slams. He will face Arthur Fery in the next round. Meanwhile, 39-year-old Novak Djokovic reached his eighth consecutive Wimbledon semifinal by defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime in a five-set match on July 7, 2026. The match scores were 7-6(10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7(4), 7-6(10-4). The match included a disruption at approximately 19:40 local time when the Centre Court roof was closed, a decision that reportedly caused dissatisfaction for Djokovic. Djokovic is set to play defending champion Jannik Sinner in the semifinals.
