Holger Roon knocked out by Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon

The Spaniard needed just three sets to overcome the Dane 7-6(3), 6-4, 6-4 at the end of a match that lasted two hours and 23 minutes.

The first set was extremely close as the two players managed to destroy each other without being able to break away. Going to a tiebreaker, Alcaraz won easily, 7-3.

The main favorite changed the lineup in the second set and with three games won in a row eventually took a big step towards victory.

In the final set, Holger Rune lost significantly, which did not cause serious problems, and the Spaniard reached the semifinals of Wimbledon for the first time.

In the penultimate act of the competition, Carlos Alcaraz will face Daniil Medvedev (3 ATP), who knocked out American Christopher Eubanks on Wednesday.
