👀 Royal Box Watch – Leonardo Di Caprio leads acting royalty

Fritz 4-3 Alcaraz *

Who's in the Royal Box for today's tennis? Thanks for asking – it's a collection of the great and good from the acting world, Leonardo Di Caprio (above) enjoying the tennis, along with fellow actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Rami Malek and James Norton.

In the sporting sphere, five-time Wimbledon champion Bjorn Borg is back, looking effortlessly cool, while legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is also in attendance.

Out on the court, it's on serve after the opening seven games of the second set at 4-3, with Fritz having just held for the fourth time. The American is trying to impart some scoreboard pressure on Alcaraz, who is serving second this set. Can Fritz get the break to sneak ahead?

Stream the action on BBC iPlayer if you're a British resident.

🤝 Alcaraz wins the first set 6-4!

Fritz* 4-6 Alcaraz

Fritz saves a set point on his own serve at 3-5 by having to hit three shots that should have been winners, but Alcaraz somehow gets two back before the American finally hits beyond the Spaniard. Eventually, Fritz holds to force Carlitos to serve it out.

Alcaraz duly obliges, with six aces in a first set impressive for its ruthlessness from the second seed. It's hard to play tennis much better. He didn't drop a point behind his first serve.

Fritz barely missed a ball in those 10 games, but he's already a set down. On commentary, Agassi compares Alcaraz to an extra-terrestrial. He's not wrong.

Fritz 3-4 Alcaraz (* denotes next server)

Fritz has started to settle after that nervous start. He's held a couple of service games with some typically monstrous serving, but Alcaraz is still a break up.

Alcaraz's first serve has impressed, but he's won only one point behind his second thus far, so if Fritz can climb into a few more of those, he could do some damage.

Make sure to stream the action on BBC iPlayer if you're a British resident.

💥 Alcaraz breaks Fritz in the opening game

Fritz* 0-2 Alcaraz (* denotes next server)

It's an ominous start for Alcaraz here at the All England Club, as the Spanish second seed breaks Fritz in the opening game of the match.

The second seed got a bit of luck (not that he needs it) thanks to a net cord, but Alcaraz is already making the ball sing.

He consolidates the break with a hold to love and take an early 2-0 lead.

Taylor Fritz and Carlos Alcaraz have made their way out onto Center Court for their semifinal and are going through their warm-ups.

It's a picture-perfect scene, with a packed house trying to keep cool as best they can on a day where the mercury is set to hit 32C on a sweltering day at SW19.

Alcaraz has won the two previous meetings between the players at the Masters 1000 Miami in 2023 and the 2024 Laver Cup, but can fifth seed Fritz and his cannon of a serve produce what would be the upset of the tournament.

Fritz won grass court tournaments at Stuttgart and Eastbourne, so has pedigree on this surface, but two-time defending champion Alcaraz is on a 23-match winning run in 2025.

OH MY ACTUAL DAYS, ANDRE AGASSI IS ON COMMENTARY ON BBC iPLAYER!! Absolutely love him and he starts by calling his wife, fellow former Wimbledon champion Steffi Graf, his 'rock of Gibraltar'. Actual tears are running down my face.

Who wins? Tune in to find out, with this handy guide...

Welcome to our live blog of Day 12 at Wimbledon. Today features two bolckbuster semifinals, as Taylor Fritz (5) faces Carlos Alcaraz (2), and Jannik Sinner (1) takes on Novak Djokovic (6).

Djokovic is chasing a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title, but hasn't reached a major final since Wimbledon 2024.

Before we see his appearance on Centre Court, all eyes will be on Fritz and Alcaraz. The 22-year-old Spaniard is riding a 23-match winning streak and looking to complete a Wimbledon hat-trick after titles in 2023 and 2024.
