  1. Set points Fritz

    Fritz 4-6 6-5 Alcaraz*

    Double fault from Carlos Alcaraz!

    Three set points for Taylor Fritz to level the match...

  2. Fritz 4-6 6-5 Alcaraz*

    For a second time, Carlos Alcaraz is serving to stay in the set.

    Another unforced error on the backhand side, followed by a cross-court forehand winner, and Taylor Fritz has 0-30.

    Potentially a pivotal moment in this semi-final...

  3. 'Alcaraz let Fritz off the hook'

    Fritz 4-6 6-5 Alcaraz*

    Andre Agassi
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC One

    He let Fritz off the hook there with three backhand return misses.

    These next three points are massive. You don't want to find yourself down on serve when you are serving to stay in the set.

  4. Fritz holds

    Fritz 4-6 6-5 Alcaraz*

    Taylor Fritz will have at least a tie-break in the second set. Carlos Alcaraz threw in a few errors in that game.

  5. 'Alcaraz is suffocating Fritz'

    *Fritz 4-6 5-5 Alcaraz

    Annabel Croft
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It's like being suffocated. Fritz just can't get away from what's coming at him. The pressure and the level of what Alcaraz is putting on him is overwhelming so Fritz just can't afford unforced errors.

  6. Alcaraz holds

    *Fritz 4-6 5-5 Alcaraz

    So, Carlos Alcaraz has to hold serve to keep this second set going.

    Taylor Fritz crafts a wonderful point and volleys a winner to get himself a foothold at 15-15.

    Then Alcaraz nets a forehand. Fritz two points away...

    But the champ recovers again from a dangerous position on serve, wrapping it up with an ace.

  7. 'Fritz can win if he gets under Carlos' skin'

    Fritz 4-6 5-4 Alcaraz*

    Marion Bartoli
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live

    If Fritz can get the second set and get under the skin of Carlos, he has a chance. Two sets down? No. But at one-set all he has a much higher chance of coming out as the winner.

  8. 'No wonder he is a little erratic'

    Fritz 4-6 5-4 Alcaraz*

    Andre Agassi
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC One

    It’s like Alcaraz has the touch of Federer, the court coverage of Novak and the RPMs of Nadal.

    It’s no wonder he is a little erratic sometimes.

  9. Fritz holds

    Fritz 4-6 5-4 Alcaraz*

    Ah, wonderful from Taylor Fritz.

    Carlos Alcaraz must think he's hit a winner to move to 30-30, but Fritz uses his massive wingspan to send a backhand down the line for a winner.

    Is that Leonardo di Caprio in the crowd on Centre Court? I'm sure he's enjoying this titanic battle...

    I'll get my coat.

  10. 'Alcaraz's team are a little tense'

    *Fritz 4-6 4-4 Alcaraz

    Annabel Croft
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live

    In Fritz's mind, he's just got to keep trying to find that breakthrough. He's putting himself in positions of 'nearly there' but Alcaraz just has so many options. Alcaraz's team are a little tense at him saving that break point but he's serving so well.

  11. 'Intense'

    *Fritz 4-6 4-4 Alcaraz

    Andrew Castle

    That is an intense game and an intense hold from Alcaraz.

  12. *Fritz 4-6 4-4 Alcaraz

    Gary Rose
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    The first big pressure moment for Carlos Alcaraz in this match and he comes through it with flying colours. He shouted and threw a fist in the air at his team as Taylor Fritz puts a shot long to confirm the hold, but he knew he had to really dig in there to get that.

  13. Alcaraz holds

    *Fritz 4-6 4-4 Alcaraz

    A massive roar from Carlos Alcaraz, the first real expression of emotion from the defending champion, as he recovers from that break point to hold serve.

  14. Alcaraz saves break point

    Fritz 4-6 4-3 Alcaraz*

    Great body serve, break point saved.

    Deuce.

  15. Break point Fritz

    Fritz 4-6 4-3 Alcaraz*

    A REAL chance now for Taylor Fritz.

    Carlos Alcaraz gets the first passing shot back but the second sails past him.

    First break point of the set...

  16. Fritz 4-6 4-3 Alcaraz*

    Gary Rose
    BBC Sport at Wimbledon

    I am in shade in the press seats but it still feels very, very hot. It is clearly very tough conditions for those who have been sat with the sun shining down on them.

    Carlos Alcaraz keeps checking up into the crowd to make sure the spectator is OK before preparing to serve again.

  17. Fritz 4-6 4-3 Alcaraz*

    We get to 30-30 in the game when another spectator is need of some medical attention.

    The first few rows around Centre Court are right in the sunshine at the moment.

  18. Fritz 4-6 4-3 Alcaraz*

    Andre Agassi
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC One

    As players we train for this [heat]. They [spectators] are sitting in the baking sun and as players we worry about them.

    Let's hope they are OK.

  19. Fritz 4-6 4-3 Alcaraz*

    Taylor Fritz wins the first point of Carlos Alcaraz's service game before there's a halt to play - it appears a spectator is struggling in the heat a little bit on Centre Court.

    The delay is not too long though, and Alcaraz serves at 0-15 down.

  20. 'Fritz has settled'

    Fritz 4-6 4-3 Alcaraz*

    Andrew Castle
    BBC Sport tennis commentator on BBC One

    It is a better start than the first set for Fritz.

    His percentage on serve is better, he hasn't lost a point behind his first serve.

    He has settled down.
