Play was stopped twice during the Wimbledon semifinal match between Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz because two fans felt unwell in the heat on Friday. The temperature reached 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) at Centre Court when both delays took place — during the eighth game of the second set.

The searing heat caused chaos at Wimbledon as the semi-final between Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz had to be halted twice during one game as spectators wilted on Centre Court.
