Wimbledon 2024 is in full swing, and the tennis drama is reaching its peak! Five-time Grand Slam champion and two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz faces off against the tough German Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round. Will Struff manage to topple Alcaraz and become only the second German to reach the Wimbledon semifinals after Sascha Zverev? Struff has already beaten Alcaraz once at Roland Garros, but Alcaraz has never lost to a player ranked as low as Struff at a Grand Slam. This is a real test for the Spanish ace who must find a new level of play to overcome the persistent and strong opponent.
On Court 2, Chilean qualifier Nicolas Jarry battles for a semifinal spot against Brazilian teenage sensation Joao Fonseca, who aims to become the youngest player in the Wimbledon semifinals since Bernard Tomic. If Jarry wins, he will join six compatriots who have reached the semifinals, including his grandfather Jaime Fillol. This is a chance for a historic success for South American tennis.
Britain’s Cameron Norrie, the last remaining home player, faces Italian Matteo Berrettini on Court 1. Norrie aims to reach a Grand Slam semifinal for the fifth time, and if he, Sonay Kartal, and Emma Raducanu win, it will be the first time since 1991 that three British players reach the Wimbledon semifinals.
This year, three qualifiers have reached the third round of the men’s singles, and if all make it to the semifinals, it will be the first time since 1999 that this has happened at Wimbledon. The tennis world is full of surprises and unexpected heroes, and now it’s time to see who will survive this hellish competition.
