Olympic tennis champion Alexander Zverev has surged into the semifinals of the Australian Open with a stunning four-set victory over second seed Carlos Alcaraz.
The German prevailed 6-1, 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-4 in a match that lasted nearly four hours. Zverev's powerful serve and forehand proved too much for Alcaraz, who was making his first appearance in the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament.
Zverev will now face Daniil Medvedev, who stunned Rafael Nadal in five sets earlier in the day, in the semifinals on Friday. Medvedev has won three previous meetings against Zverev, including a straight-sets victory in last year's French Open semifinals.
