Summary
Alexander Zverev reached his first Wimbledon semi-final with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 win over Taylor Fritz, ending a seven-match losing streak against the American in just under two hours.
Fritz's right-knee problem surfaced at the start of the second set, when he took a medical timeout, and the injury left last year's semi-finalist unable to match Zverev's power.
Zverev delivered the near-flawless level he said was needed, firing 14 aces and conceding only eight points on serve across the final two sets.
Friday's semi-final will pit the French Open champion against British wildcard Arthur Fery, leaving Zverev two wins from a second straight Grand Slam title.
