Carlos Alcaraz returns to the hallowed lawns of Wimbledon as the two-time defending champion, aiming to etch his name deeper into the tournament’s lore with a third consecutive title. The 22-year-old Spaniard, riding an 18-match winning streak, enters the draw as the No. 2 seed and a clear favorite. But the road to glory is anything but smooth.

| Round | Opponent(s) |
|---|---|
| 1st Round | Fabio Fognini (World No. 130) – A veteran with flair, but past his prime |
| 2nd Round | Leandro Riedi (506) or Oliver Tarvet (719) – Both untested at this level |
| 3rd Round | Félix Auger-Aliassime (27) – A proven grass-court threat with a 4–3 record vs Alcaraz |
| Other options: James Duckworth (106), Filip Misolic (110), Jan-Lennard Struff (127) | |
| 4th Round | Andrey Rublev (14) or Stefanos Tsitsipas (26) – Both dangerous, both beatable |
| Also in the mix: Zizou Bergs (50), Laslo Djere (62) | |
| Quarterfinals | Holger Rune (8) – A fiery rival with a 2–2 head-to-head |
| Other threats: Frances Tiafoe (12), Jiri Lehecka (25), Tallon Griekspoor (34) | |
| Semifinals | Alexander Zverev (3) or Taylor Fritz (5) – Both have pushed Alcaraz to the brink |
| Also possible: Daniil Medvedev (9), Francisco Cerúndolo (18) | |
| Final | Jannik Sinner (1) – A potential blockbuster rematch of their Roland Garros epic |
| Other contenders: Jack Draper (4), Novak Djokovic (6), Lorenzo Musetti (7) |
(image) Key Clashes to Watch
- 3rd Round vs. Auger-Aliassime: A stylistic clash between two of the most athletic players on tour. FAA’s serve and net game could test Alcaraz’s reflexes.
- Quarterfinal vs. Rune: Their rivalry is electric, and Rune’s aggressive baseline play could disrupt Alcaraz’s rhythm.
- Semifinal vs. Zverev or Fritz: Both have the power and experience to trouble the Spaniard, especially on grass.
- Final vs. Sinner: If it happens, it could be the match of the year. Their Roland Garros duel was a five-set classic—this one could be even better.
(image) Outlook
Alcaraz’s draw is deceptively tricky. While the early rounds offer a chance to find his footing, the second week is packed with landmines. Yet, if anyone can dance through the fire with flair and fight, it’s the reigning king of Centre Court. A third Wimbledon crown would not just cement his dominance—it would signal the dawn of a grass-court dynasty.
