Carlos Alcaraz sent chilling Wimbledon warning as rival claims world's best are powerless to stop him
The Spanish superstar has extended his SW19 winning streak to 23 matches as he closes in on a hat-trick of titles.
Taylor Fritz will bid to become only the fourth man to ever beat Carlos Alcaraz on grass today as the American bids to reach his first Wimbledon final.
The Spanish superstar has extended his SW19 winning streak to 23 matches as he closes in on a hat-trick of titles.
And Alcaraz, 22, has only ever lost to Daniil Medvedev (2021) and Jannik Sinner (2022) in his first two Wimbledons – and was then beaten by Jack Draper at Queen’s Club last year.
But after his quarter-final win over Russian Karen Khachanov, the big-serving Frtiz said: “I truly know the way that I played the first two sets today, there’s not much any opponent on the other side can do.”
And the world No.5 followed: “I’m happy we’re not playing at the French Open on clay with the French Open balls. That would be a nightmare.
“Grass is very much so an equaliser. So, I trust in how I’m playing.”
Meanhwhile, Novak Djokovic is to win his record-breaking 25th Grand Slam singles title on Sunday, he will have to do it the hard way.
The Serbian superstar will face world No.1 Sinner in a blockbuster semi-final on Centre Court this evening. And should he reach a seventh successive Wimbledon final, he would still probably face two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz.
It is a herculean task in the 30-degree heat of tropical London – but also probably the last real chance here for a champion who will be 39 next year.
Sinner, 23, and Alcaraz, 22, have shared the last six major titles – and an epic French Open final last month.
