London: Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev set up a Wimbledon semi-final repeat on Tuesday as Donna Vekic ended the magical run of New Zealand qualifier Lulu Sun.
Alcaraz battled back from a set down to defeat Tommy Paul 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 while Medvedev stunned world number one Jannik Sinner, who suffered a mid-match health scare, 6-7 (7/9), 6-4, 7-6 (7/4), 2-6, 6-3.
Vekic recovered to defeat Sun 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 to reach her first Slam semi-final where she will take on Italian late bloomer Jasmine Paolini, who swept past Emma Navarro 6-2, 6-1.
Spanish world number three Alcaraz, seeking a fourth Grand Slam title, was broken twice by 12th-seeded Paul in a 72-minute first set.
Paul raced into a two-game lead in the second set before Alcaraz got back on level terms.
