Alcaraz is establishing a Grand Slam pattern which spells danger for the rest of the field: get him early, or risk not getting him at all.

Carlos Alcaraz’s latest up-and-down Wimbledon performance began with a dropped set. Later Sunday, he was in danger of getting broken to fall further behind in the third. And then, as he so often does,

Last month, Alcaraz won the Queen's Club after beating Jiri Lehecka 7-5, 6-7 (5), 5-2 in the final. He started the 2025 season with a quarter-final exit at Australian Open. He won the ATP Rotterdam title thereafter. Alcaraz was ousted early in Miami before he captured the Monte-Carlo Masters. He won the Italian Open and Roland Garros titles next.
