Carlos Alcaraz will meet Andrey Rublev in his next round at Wimbledon

Carlos Alcaraz was pushed to a tough five-set battle by Italy’s Fabio Fognini as the 22-year-old began his title defense at Wimbledon. His second round was relatively easier with a straight set victory over Great Britain’s Oliver Tart.

He overcame Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff in four sets in the third round to set up a fourth-round clash with 2023 quarterfinalist Andrey Rublev. Speaking about his upcoming opponent at the post-match press conference, Alcaraz remarked:

Andrey is a very powerful player. I think he always plays well on grass because he loves to be aggressive. When he finds his forehand, he loves to move his opponent from side to side. It’s going to be very tough facing him because on grass, mobility is really the trickiest aspect to nail down.

Alcaraz has a 2-1 head-to-head record over the Russian, and the fourth round match will mark their first meeting on grass. Rublev defeated Laslo Djere, Lloyd Harris, and Adrian Mannarino in the previous rounds of the tournament.
