match point

By the time Alcaraz worked his way to match point, the outcome had felt inevitable for a while, despite Sinner saving his championship twice.

However, the composure of Navarro, who saved two match points against Kazakhstan in the quarter-finals, to save two break points in the opening game of the third set proved crucial.

The 27-year-old furiously fought off Pegula's attempts to break back and let out a huge roar after wrapping up the victory on her third match point.

Czech Krejcikova, a two-time Grand Slam singles champion, represented a dangerous opponent after recovering from a set down and saving eight match points against Taylor Townsend in the previous round.

Bublik could not handle the pace being thrown at him, before his double fault on Sinner's first match point summed up a difficult evening.
