Carlos Alcaraz is heading into Wimbledon 2025 with soaring confidence and a deep appreciation for grass-court tennis, as he sets his sights on a possible third consecutive title at the prestigious Grand Slam.
The young Spaniard, known for his explosive style and flair, has expressed his admiration for the unique beauty of playing on grass, a surface that complements his fast-paced and artistic game.
Only two years ago, Alcaraz had been learning the nuances of grass-court play by closely observing legends like Roger Federer and Andy Murray through online videos. Since then, his transformation into a dominant force on grass has been rapid and remarkable.
His current form is a testament to his growth—he remains undefeated since April, capturing titles at the Rome Masters, Roland-Garros, and most recently, the Queen’s Club Championships. With an ongoing 18-match winning streak, Alcaraz is enjoying the longest unbeaten run of his career.
If he extends this streak by seven more victories at Wimbledon, bringing the total to 25, he will join the elite group of tennis greats—Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic—who have each won Wimbledon three times in a row during the Open Era.
Although the historic milestone is within reach, Alcaraz remains grounded and focused solely on winning the title, expressing strong determination to lift the trophy once again.
Aside from chasing records, Alcaraz finds the grass court environment aesthetically pleasing. He appreciates the dynamic pace, the distinct sound of the ball, and the challenging movement across the turf, which he likens to a sensation of flying.
His playing style, which includes deft slices, strategic drop shots, and aggressive net approaches, aligns perfectly with the demands of grass-court tennis, further solidifying his status as a fan favorite.
Last year, Alcaraz completed the rare “Channel Slam” by winning both Roland-Garros and Wimbledon. Now, he stands on the verge of achieving an unprecedented “double Paris-London double” following his dramatic comeback victory against Jannik Sinner at this year’s Roland-Garros final.
His campaign for a third Wimbledon title begins on Monday, where he will face seasoned Italian Fabio Fognini in what is expected to be a thrilling opening match.
