Alcaraz’s aggressive playstyle and tactical intelligence ensured there was no let-up. His ability to mix blistering winners with delicate drop shots kept Norrie off balance. Though Norrie managed to secure a break late in the second set, any hope of a comeback was quickly extinguished as Alcaraz regained control with a ruthless display of shot-making.
By the third set, Alcaraz’s superiority was undeniable. He broke Norrie early and never looked back, closing out the match with another sweeping hold. The victory not only secured his place in the semi-finals but also reinforced his status as one of the game’s most formidable competitors.
