A finalist in 2023, Carlos Alcaraz will return to the semifinals of the Cincinnati Masters 1000.
The world No. 2 achieved this by defeating Andrey Rublev in three sets (6-3, 4-6, 7-5), despite a scare when he was broken while serving for the match. Ultimately, it was a double fault from the Russian that secured Alcaraz's spot in the final four.

Far from his best (27 winners to 32 unforced errors, 4 double faults), the Spaniard now awaits Alexander Zverev or Ben Shelton for his next match.
He extends his winning streak to 15 consecutive victories in Masters 1000 events, remaining undefeated in this tournament category since Monte-Carlo.
