<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz 4-2 Taylor Fritz*<\/p>\n

From 40-0, Alcaraz doesn\u2019t quite get the serve-volley right as Fritz races up to the ball to put away the forehand pass. <\/p>\n

Alcaraz blasts a forehand wide after Fritz digs in to retrieve a couple of massive swings from the Spaniard. <\/p>\n

On 40-30, Alcaraz closes it out with an ace. It\u2019s been brilliant from Alcaraz through the first six games. <\/p>\n

<\/a>BREAK! *Carlos Alcaraz 3-2 Taylor Fritz<\/p>\n

Alcaraz is so hard to beat because he forces players to always hit an extra shot but Fritz is finding his way through as he blasts another backhand winner down the line. <\/p>\n

Alcaraz wins the next point by covering Fritz at the net and landing a couple of beautiful volleys; Alcaraz then ramps up the pressure with a huge backhand crosscourt and finishes it with a smash. <\/p>\n

Break point to Alcaraz, and he takes it. Fritz goes wide on the backhand down the line this time. Alcaraz gets the opening break. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz 2-2 Taylor Fritz*<\/p>\n

Alcaraz has been very transparent that he wants to enjoy himself in exhibitions and the Spaniard pulls off another highlight-reel shot. Moving backwards, Alcaraz tickles another brilliant drop shot over the net that left Fritz with no chance. <\/p>\n

<\/a>*Carlos Alcaraz 1-2 Taylor Fritz<\/p>\n

Fritz knows he has to bring his best level in every game to keep this competitive. He guides a lovely backhand winner down the line and lands a big kicker out wide on his way to getting his opening hold. Solid enough start. <\/p>\n

<\/a>*Carlos Alcaraz 0-1 Taylor Fritz<\/p>\n

Alcaraz jogs inside the baseline when facing the Fritz second serve on the opening point, and easily puts it away for a return winner. <\/p>\n

That underlines the importance of Fritz\u2019s first-serve percentage here, but the American steadies to get to 40-15, only to throw in a double fault. <\/p>\n

Alcaraz fires an inside-out forehand winner to get to deuce, but Fritz fires an ace and unreturned serve out wide to get the opening hold. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz 0-0 Taylor Fritz*<\/p>\n

There were some muted \u2018Siuuuus\u2019 as Speed made his way off the court. Alcaraz won the toss and elected to receive, so Fritz will serve first. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz v Taylor Fritz<\/p>\n

We\u2019re almost ready to begin. Fritz is followed onto the Riyadh court by Alcaraz, whose arrival is greeted by some louder cheers. There are still many empty seats in the Arena. There wasn\u2019t much of an atmosphere yesterday but today\u2019s semi-final line-up is unquestionably a better draw. <\/p>\n

Eh… Alcaraz was wearing some sort of camera when walking out on court? We are treated to a shaky perspective of Alcaraz removing his warm-up top. Safe to say some of Netflix\u2019s production has not really hit the bar so far. <\/p>\n

Oh, we\u2019re got iShowSpeed doing the coin toss. A joy. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Carlos Alcaraz v Taylor Fritz <\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz on facing Fritz: \u201cHe is tough, powerful. It\u2019s always a difficult match-up. I like playing against him and having those battles, but sometimes it\u2019s a nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor Fritz on facing Alcaraz: \u201cHe\u2019s an incredible player, he\u2019s amazing. When you get him on one of his best days he\u2019s very tough to beat him, he plays with so much variety. I played a good match against him in Laver Cup and a solid match in Tokyo. I got closer than the times before.\u201d <\/p>\n
