1 Novak Djokovic or Rafael Nadal will next face off for a place in the 2020 US Open runner-up final.
Zverev served in the fourth set for a 5-4 win but was broken there by the 19-year-old Alcaraz.
The 25-year-old German converted his second match point, sending a backhand return out of Alcaraz’s reach.
Sixth-seeded Alcaraz had entered the match this year with a tour-leading four titles, with a 32-3 record. But the Spanish teenager made 16 unforced errors in the first set when Zverev broke through in the fifth game. He then broke Alcaraz in the seventh game of the second set.
Zverev conceded only six breakpoints to the young Spaniard and stopped four of them in the court Philippe Chatrier, improving 3-1 against Alcaraz.
This is Zverev’s first win over a top-10 opponent in a Grand Slam tournament.
Alcaraz was trying to become the youngest semi-finalist since 2005, when Nadal reached the last four at the age of 19.
Zverev also reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros a year ago.
