"It was a really difficult match. It always [is] when I have to play against Taylor - even tougher with the conditions today," Alcaraz said during his on-court interview. 

Alcaraz said he was "proud" of his performance that saw him best Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (6), advancing to the final with a 24-match streak. 

Fritz played well, recording 19 aces and 44 winners, but it wasn't enough. 

On the women's side, Amanda Anisimova is still looking to make history for the Americans. 

She will face Iga Swiatek in Saturday's final, where a win will make her the first American to win Wimbledon since Serena Williams did so in 2016. 

Swiatek, a five-time Grand Slam champion, is eying her first-ever win at the All England Club.
