Carlos Alcaraz continues his impressive run at Wimbledon 2025, having extended his unbeaten streak to 22 matches across all events and 18 consecutively at the grass-court Grand Slam. On Sunday, July 6, Alcaraz overcame No. 14 seed Andrey Rublev in four sets, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, to secure his place in the quarterfinals, where he faces Cameron Norrie[3]. This victory marked his 75th Grand Slam match win in just 87 appearances, matching Open Era legends Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe as the fastest men to reach that milestone[3].

Alcaraz is aiming for his third straight Wimbledon title after surviving a tough challenge in the previous round against Jan-Lennard Struff. His latest Centre Court performance showcased his trademark resilience and shot-making, blasting 38 winners and 10 aces to extend his current win streak, which began with his opening match in Rome[1]. At 22 years old, he is now the second-youngest player in the Open Era to reach four consecutive round of 16 appearances at Wimbledon, behind only Bjorn Borg[1].

The Spaniard’s 2025 season has already been historic. He defended his French Open title in June, mounting an unforgettable comeback to defeat Jannik Sinner in the Roland Garros final and secure his fifth Grand Slam trophy[2]. Alcaraz has now collected a total of 12 “Big Titles,” which includes Grand Slams, Masters 1000s, and other major tournament victories. Notably, he also completed his set of big clay titles this season by winning the Italian Open and Monte Carlo for the first time[2][4].

The quarterfinal at Wimbledon against Britain’s Cameron Norrie is one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament and is set to take place on July 8, 2025[5][7]. The match is drawing significant attention as Alcaraz remains the favorite, seeking to become only the third man in the Open Era to win three consecutive Wimbledon titles at such a young age[1].
