It's a different class of tennis altogether from Alcaraz, who takes the second set as well with a much larger gap. The Spaniard has been helped by a couple of lucky breaks, but for most of the contest, he has been dictating the tempo against the home favourite. The crowd has grown quiet as well.

Game, set, match for Alcaraz. The Spaniard eases his way into the semi-finals, and the top seed will aim to become only the ninth men's tennis player to clinch the four Grand Slams. De Minaur, for his part, gave his best, but it was simply too good of a performance from his opponent.
