The French Open and Wimbledon winner Alcaraz also went straight sets in his fourth match against the American Tommy Paul (ATP 13), but had to come back from a break down to win 6:3, 7:6 (9:7) in the second set and fend off a set point in the tie-break.

The tournament is over for Alexander Zverev. The German 2021 Olympic champion and world number four lost 5:7, 5:7 to the in-form Wimbledon semi-finalist Lorenzo Musetti from Italy.

The dream final between Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic is still possible. The Serbian will face the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in his quarter-final on Thursday evening.
