After 2:11 hours he converted his first match point.
“I didn’t think I’d make it into a Grand Slam semi-final. I thought my ship had already left,” said Kyrgios, who shares the audience in London: The controversial Australian provokes with his extravagant appearance. The 27-year-old is now dealing with Rafael Nadal.
In the second semi-final, the sympathies will be clearly distributed: local hero Cameron Norrie demands number one seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic. After his five-set win over David Goffin (Bel), Norrie is hoping for his first home win since Andy Murray in 2016.
Halep without losing a sentence
In the women’s game, Simona Halep underlined her favorite position with a 6:2, 6:4 win over Amanda Anisimova (USA): The 30-year-old Romanian did not lose a set on her way to the semi-finals. The 2019 winner now meets Elena Rybakina, who defeated Ajla Tomljanovic (Aus) 4: 6, 6: 2, 6: 3. It is the first Grand Slam semi-final for the Kazakhs. Tatjana Maria (D) and world number two Ons Jabeur (Tun) contest the other semi-final.
