Germany’s Alexander Zverev stunned second seed Carlos Alcaraz to reach the Australian Open semi-finals as a sublime display of serving took him to a 6-1 6-3 6-7(2) 6-4 victory on Wednesday.
Zverev landed 94 of 111 first serves throughout the three hour, five minute contest and even when Alcaraz threatened a remarkable comeback he showed great composure to seal victory.
“When you’re up 6-1 6-3 5-2 against a player like Carlos you start thinking because we are all human,” Zverev said on court.

“Your brain starts going and it’s not always helpful but I’m happy I got there in the end. I fought back pretty well in the fourth set and didn’t let go.”
In his seventh Grand Slam semi-final, Zverev will need similar accuracy as he takes on Russia’s Daniil Medvedev.
