The Australian needed just 73 minutes to dispatch Wagner, winning the first set without recording a single unforced error.
Alcott will play Dutchman Sam Schroder in the final. Victory would keep alive his chance of winning the 'Golden Slam' after he won both the Australian Open and Roland Garros titles earlier this year.
A Golden Slam is all four Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal in the same calendar year.
"Everyone loves talking about the Golden Slam more than I do," Alcott told ITFTennis.com.

"I didn't know what it was until everyone started saying it to me the other day.
"I had an opportunity to win the Grand Slam in 2019 and I thought about it and talked about it but choked it up hard.
"If I win the Golden Slam, how good? If I don't, the sun still comes up. I have a great family and I'm still out here at Wimbledon breathing in the grass and looking at everyone smashing Pimm's. I'm a happy guy."
