Coco Gauff is now the last American hope at Wimbledon.
Sixth-seeded Taylor Fritz fell to No. 2 seed Alexander Zverev in their men’s quarterfinal match on Wednesday, leaving Gauff as the lone U.S. player remaining in the singles competition.
Battling an apparent knee injury that required a medical timeout, Fritz couldn’t handle the power from the 2026 French Open champion.
Zverev prevailed 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 in under two hours to move on to an unlikely semifinal matchup.
Unseeded Brit Arthur Fery saw his Cinderella upset run continue into the semis with a straight-set victory over ninth-seeded Flavio Cobolli.
