Alcaraz saved a match point in the fourth set of his thrilling second-round five-setter against countryman Albert Ramos-Vinolas. Since that moment, he has shown the form that made him one of the leading favourites at the clay-court major.
In the third and fourth rounds, Alcaraz has won all six of his sets — against Sebastian Korda and Khachanov — by a margin of 6-4 or greater. The 19-year-old lost serve just once against Khachanov to advance after two hours and 14 minutes.
The 21st seed battled hard throughout to make inroads against Alcaraz, but the sixth seed always seemed to have the answer.
Alcaraz needed six match points to complete his win, but he finished the job when Khachanov was unable to put a backhand passing shot in play. The 19-year-old will now turn his attention to Zverev, whom he defeated just weeks ago in the Madrid Open final.
Zverev leads the pair’s ATP Head2Head series 2-1, but Alcaraz has significantly improved since his two losses against the German last year. At the Caja Magica, he lost just four games against Zverev to lift the trophy.
