Carlos Alcaraz is on fire at Wimbledon! The two-time defending champion crushed Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round with a score of 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. He dropped only one set but quickly regained control. The biggest drama unfolded in the fourth set, where Struff held his serve until the very last game but finally cracked under Alcaraz’s pressure.
Next up in the round of 16 is the formidable Russian, Andrey Rublev, who is also in great form after beating France’s Adrian Mannarino 7-5, 6-2, 6-3. Alcaraz is riding an incredible 21-match winning streak, with his last loss coming in the final of the Barcelona clay tournament.
Other big names still in the draw include Karen Khachanov, fifth seed American Taylor Fritz, and qualifier Nicolas Jarry, who shocked the crowd by defeating Brazilian hopeful Joao Fonseca. Jarry will face local favorite Cameron Norrie in the round of 16.
This Wimbledon is packed with excitement, and Alcaraz looks like the favorite to claim a third consecutive title. Will Rublev stop the Spanish phenom, or will Alcaraz continue his dominance? Time will tell, but one thing’s for sure — grass-court tennis in London has never been this thrilling!
