Carlos Alcaraz Battles Through Tense Wimbledon Clash with Struff
So, we’re deep into Wimbledon 2025, and all eyes are on Centre Court as Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion and second seed, faced off against the ever-dangerous Jan-Lennard Struff in a gripping third-round encounter. If you were watching it live—or even just following the updates—you know this one had it all: drama, momentum swings, and flashes of brilliance.
Alcaraz started strong, absolutely dominating the first set 6-1. His serve was clicking, his movement was as sharp as ever, and he didn’t give Struff a moment to breathe. But as we've come to expect at this stage of Wimbledon, it wasn’t going to be smooth sailing. Struff, known for his unpredictable yet explosive game, came roaring back in the second set. The German took it 6-3, capitalizing on a few uncharacteristic errors from Alcaraz and stepping up his first-serve percentage. Suddenly, the match was level—and the pressure was on.

But here’s where champions show their mettle. Alcaraz didn't panic. In fact, the third set might have been the turning point. He cleaned up his game, held serve with authority—three love holds in that set alone—and grabbed the set 6-3. It was clinical, almost cold-blooded tennis. Struff kept swinging, of course, and even managed to stay toe-to-toe at the start of the fourth set. But momentum had clearly shifted back to the Spaniard.
It wasn’t just about big shots. Alcaraz showed incredible court awareness, absorbing Struff’s power and turning defense into attack within a blink. Even when he dropped a few sloppy points, he bounced back immediately—no mental let-up. That’s the mark of a true competitor.
Meanwhile, elsewhere at Wimbledon, teenage sensation Joao Fonseca bowed out in a thrilling four-set match against Chilean qualifier Nicolas Jarry, who now faces Britain’s own Cameron Norrie. The fourth-set tiebreak between Fonseca and Jarry was electric—both players pushing each other to the limit. But back to Alcaraz: this win not only puts him into the fourth round, it sends a message—he’s not here just to defend a title. He’s here to dominate.
Wimbledon 2025 is really heating up, and if today was any indication, Carlos Alcaraz is far from done writing his story.
