As Wimbledon 2025 unfolds, two players arrive at the All England Club with extraordinary momentum—though from very different paths. Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning champion and world number two, has won his last 19 matches, a run that includes titles in Rome, Roland Garros, and Queen’s. Meanwhile, British college player Ollie Tarvet has quietly built a 32-match winning streak across multiple levels of competition, including college tennis, UTR Pro Tennis Tour events, USTA Pro Circuit matches, and now Wimbledon qualifying and main draw play.
Alcaraz’s streak has been forged at the highest level of the sport. His recent victories have come against top-tier opponents on the biggest stages, and his ability to dominate on both clay and grass has made him the favorite to lift the Wimbledon trophy for a third consecutive year. His five-set battle against Fabio Fognini in the first round showed his resilience and championship mentality, even when pushed to the limit.
Tarvet, on the other hand, is still an amateur and a student at the University of San Diego. Ranked 733rd in the world, he entered Wimbledon through the qualifying rounds and has since stunned observers with his poise and consistency. His 32-match streak spans a variety of formats and surfaces, reflecting not only his versatility but also his hunger to compete at every opportunity. Despite his underdog status, Tarvet has made it clear that he believes he can challenge anyone, including Alcaraz.
Their second-round clash at Wimbledon is more than just a meeting of two players in form—it’s a collision of two tennis worlds. One is a global superstar with multiple Grand Slam titles; the other is a rising talent still navigating the transition from college to the professional circuit. Regardless of the outcome, the match promises to be a compelling chapter in both of their stories.
